Hello,
You should never manipulate the repository directly.
Here is how to rename a file so that history is preserved ( in your CVS
checkout ) :
mv ABC.txt abc.txt
cvs rm ABC.txt
cvs add abc.txt
cvs commit -m "renamed ABC.txt to abc.txt" ABC.txt abc.txt
This way, anyone looking at the history for this file will clearly
see that it was renamed, and can look at the ABC.txt in the Attic
if they need to.
If you do the rename directly in the repository, the information
on when, why and by who it was renamed is lost.
HTH,
Rob Helmer
