Re: Windows with Dir/ and dir/
Hello, I'm replying to an old mail (and answer) from me, because I took the time to generate a skript which shows the behaviour I mentioned (and it still happens, even with 1.11.17). My first posting on this can be found on http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2004-04/msg00201.html My problem is that if I have a directory Dir/, and I rename it to the name dir/, cvs has problems with this on a Windows box. * On Mon, Apr 19, 2004 at 11:10:42AM -0400 Derek Robert Price wrote: Spiro Trikaliotis wrote: Anyway, if I do a checkout (again, with -P) from the Windows machine, I get the following files: module/Dir/1 module/Dir/2 but the files 1 and 2 have the contents of the files which are in module/dir/1 and module/dir/2!

Well, yes, to a limited extent. ;-) I assume you either wrote over the original bin/cvs you had or are in some other way making sure you are executing the new version? Yes, I executed path-to-cvs/cvs directly (and did a cvs --version to be sure). Anyway, I found out this not to be optimal, as CVS seems to try to run exactly path-to-cvs/cvs on the server, which cannot be found or, even worse, might be something different (as in my case).

Windows with Dir/ and dir/
Hello (again), I'm using cvs 1.11.1 (debian/stable) on the server, and cvs 1.11.1 (Debian/stable) and cvs 1.11.6 (cygwin) on the client side. I use access method ssh to access my remote repository. I found a somehow confusing behaviour which I cannot understand. Possibly, someone can help me around it. I checked the list archive, and although there is much on the Windows case-insensitiveness, I did not find my particular problem mentioned. I have a repository in which a module contains the following files: module/Dir/Attic/1 module/Dir/Attic/2 module/dir/1 module/dir/2 module/Dir itself is empty (except for the subdir Attic/) As you can see, the two directories differ in the case only. Everything from Dir/ has been moved to dir/ many revisions before, so Dir/ has everything contained inside of it in the Attic, and both Dir/ and dir/ contain the same files. If I checkout -P from the Linux machine, everything works fine and I get the files module/dir/1 and module/dir/2. Anyway, if I do a checkout (again, with -P) from the Windows machine, I get the following files: module/Dir/1 module/Dir/2 but the files 1 and 2 have the contents of the files which are in module/dir/1 and module/dir/2! I know and understand that Windows is case insensitive, but this behaviour is very surprising to me. I would have expected that the Windows (cygwin) version of CVS creates exactly the files with the case that it used to check the files out, nothing else). Even the file module/dir/CVS/Repository points to module/Dir (and not to module/dir which I would have expected). I thought -P would not created to obsolete Dir/ but directly the new dir/. This does not seem to be the case. Does CVS generate a Dir/ and not remove it until dir/ wants to be written, in which case dir/ would use the old Dir/ on Windows? I thought at first, but as CVS/Repository points to Dir/, I don't think this is the case. I have not checked what happens if I commit anything in this case since I don't want to havoc my repository. Anyway, if I do a cvs release -d, I get the following message: $ cvs release vice [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: cvs server: src/arch/os2/Snippets/Makefile.am is no longer in the repository cvs server: src/arch/os2/Snippets/Makefile.in is no longer in the repository [...] You have [0] altered files in this repository. Are you sure you want to release (and delete) directory `vice': yes [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: cvs release: no such directory: vice (BTW: What's behind the last cvs release: no such directory?)
