Thanks for the answer.

The problem isn't to store two nearly-identically files in the repository,
but to change the case of files - often happening with Java, because there
the case is important even on Windows. And since CVS can't change a file's
name, it leads to store both.

Best regards,
Tom

|The CVSNT server cannot store both. Similarly, if you have these two
|files on a linux CVS server and a Windows client, when you
|download them
|you will have at most one file (hopefully you get an error message).
|
|I think it is really poor style to have two files in the same directory
|with the same name but different cases. It won't work on any version of
|Windows, it doesn't work on Mac OS 9, and in most cases it
|won't work on
|Mac OS X either.
