Re: Case conflicts between Attic and main-line code in CVS 1.10.6

Derek,


OK - that was pretty easy, so here is how it goes:

On a UNIX system where case is significant:

        cvs co testmodule
        cd testmodule
        echo TestFile > testfile
        cvs add testfile
        cvs commit -m Blah testfile
        mv testfile TestFile
        cvs add TestFile
        cvs rm testfile
        cvs commit -m MoreBlah testfile TestFile

On a Windows system via pserver:

        cvs co testmodule

Back on UNIX:

        cd ..
        cvs tag -b NewBranch testmodule

Back on Windows:
        
        cvs update -r NewBranch testmodule

                cvs server: Updating testmodule
                cvs update: move away testmodule/testfile; it is in the way
                C testmodule/testfile

If at this stage I change the UNIX cvs command implementing the pserver from 1.11.6 back to 1.11.5, and trry the update again on Windows, I get:

        cvs update -r NewBranch testmodule

                cvs server: Updating testmodule

and no errors.

Is this sufficient for you?

Could you provide us with a minimal number of steps to recreate this 
problem?  e.g. `touch foo; cvs ci foo; cvs tag -b br; cvs up -rbr; ...'.

Derek
