No, I don't want to. I just want to check out the repository without getting
into trouble. I had "Foo" and "foo" and deleted one of them for the precise
reason of avoiding these problems.

Is this a server side move, or is it moving empty directories in a working
directory?

I'm trying to use CVS here, I don't want to lock myself to a specific client.
I have no files that requires a case sensitive file system, beyond one that is
deleted. If there's anything I can do beyond deleting the offending file,
please tell.
So in order to check out such a repository on windows I need to install a file
system driver or use a specific client? Look, this is all a bad joke, CVS
gotta be better than that.
