Hi,

I have solved the problem.
After some hours of stupid searching in bug reports, newsgroups and
other sources I found out the reason for this strange behaviour of cvs.
I forgot to tell what configuration I use:
Windows NT with WinCVS 1.6b with cvs.exe 1.11.1.3 Beta 2 (Build43) and
the server and the repository is stored on Linux (Suse 7.X) with cvs
1.11.1p1 - and I've installed these all since yesterday, because I
thought there is a bug in cvs ;-)

The reason is quite simple:
The old file that I have removed has had the name 'FrmStatus.frm'
The file name of the file I wanted to (re-)add was 'frmStatus.frm'

WinCVS is not case sensitive, so there was no problem for WinCVS with
the 'add' command. But the 'commit' has failed because of the case
differencies of the file names.

I think cvs should handle this in any better way - an assert is not
really a good solution ;-)

Regards,
Michael
