Change of CVS source directories

[wadesworld]

I realize this isn't something that would get done tomorrow, but what 
would be the chances of changing the CVS source directories to a naming 
scheme which would work on case-insensitive file systems?

While that hasn't been an issue in the past, it is now with the growth 
of Darwin (MacOS X).  Darwin supports HFS+, which is a case-preserving, 
but case-insensitive file system.

The problem is that when you check out cvs, cvs tries to create cvs/cvs 
and cvs/CVS.   On a case-insensitive file system, that won't work work.  
The problem could be resolved by simply renaming the cvs directory to 
cvssrc or some such.

Now, I'm sure some Unix folks will argue that all  file systems should 
be case sensitive.  However, that's a moot point.  HFS+ exists and is 
widely used.  It is not going away and changing the file system is not 
an option.

I realize that those who have servers that maintain a CVS image can 
probably resolve the problem by just renaming the directory on their own 
server, but since they frequently update from the main CVS 
distributions, it'd make life a lot easier if this could eventually be 
changed in the main distributions.

Any thoughts?
