ambiguous file name, due to case insensitivity

[Steve]

I am using cvs from the command line, with cvs client version 1.11, on Windows NT.

Unfortunately, it seem that I have two files with similar names:

contactinfo.gif

contactInfo.gif

The names only differ in the capitalization of the letter "I".

 

On unix, I don't have any problem using cvs.

 

However, on my PC Windows client, I cannot do a checkout or update, since I get this message

when I attempt to update the track:

cvs update
cvs server: Updating .
cvs [server aborted]: contactInfo.gif,v is ambiguous; could mean contactinfo.gif,v or contactInfo.gif,v

 

In an attempt to "fix" this, I have removed the file contactinfo.gif, by doing the following

on a unix machine where the same branch is checked out:

 

rm contactinfo.gif

cvs remove contactinfo.gif

cvs commit -m "removing file" contactinfo.gif

 

However, this has not corrected the problem. I still cannot checkout the track or do an update on

my Windows PC.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

THANKS,

Steve
