How about renaming the *repository* directory ABC to abc? Try it (in a copy of the repository) and see if it breaks anything that you care about.

Well, renaming ABC/ to abc/ was a deliberate decision as all directories should be lowercase on our side. We did not know that CVS has such a problem with this.
Removing ABC/ from the repository would break history and the ability to build old versions, thus, it is out of question. Yes, we use co -P, thus, I would have assumed that ABC/ is already gone before abc/ is tried to be checked out. Anyway, this is not the case.
IMHO, this is a CVS bug, isn't it?
If you want to use cvs, you HAVE to fiddle around with the Entries file.
I would disagree completely with that statement.
I'm sorry, this statement was not meant as it seems to be. It's my fault, I should have formulated it more precisely.
Thus, I reformulate:
IN THIS SITUATION [given above], if you want to use cvs, you HAVE to fiddle around with the Entries file [because CVS will not work otherwise].
Regards, Spiro.
