Re: [Bug-cvs] bug with cvs ignore processing?

[Kuros Yalpani]

Hi! I want to report something that appears to be a bug. We are
running CVS in a client/pserver configuration (WinNT clients/Linux
server). I noticed the following problem when trying to rename a file
in the repository to a new name that differs only in its case from the
old filename, as illustrated in the following trace:

C:\cvs_workdir\javaproj>cvs add bsort.java
cvs server: scheduling file `bsort.java' for addition
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently

C:\cvs_workdir\javaproj>cvs commit
cvs commit: Examining .
? CVS
RCS file: /sdb/cvs/test/javaproj/bsort.java,v
done
Checking in bsort.java;
/sdb/cvs/test/javaproj/bsort.java,v  <--  bsort.java

done
C:\cvs_workdir\javaproj>copy bsort.java tmp.java
        1 Datei(en) kopiert.

C:\cvs_workdir\javaproj>del bsort.java

C:\cvs_workdir\javaproj>cvs remove bsort.java

I would appreciate your comments on this. Thanks very much
