Re-adding a file
Performing a CVS remove file command does not elimiate all
traces of it from the repository. If at some later time the
file is re-added, the
Attic/filename,v with dead state is moved to filename,v and
given an exists state in the CVS repository. Now because MS
Windows is somewhat
case insensitive, a problem can arise if the re-added file is
the same name with slightly different case letters. The
symptom of this is that a re-added
file can't be commited because the exact case sensitive
Attic/filename,v can't be found. To resolve this, either
attempt to guess what the file case
originally was, or gain access to the CVS repository and look
in the Attic for the exact case spelling of the file, then
re-add and commit should
work.

I have this problem on M$-Window$ and would like to modify cvs
sources to fix that.
I tried to modify add.c but it doesn't work yet. I have 2
Questions :
1. is it technically possible ?
2. what source code belongs to cvs server, what source code
belongs to client ?
Thanks
Ben
