The thread started with Windows getting the "wrong" case version of the
file, that is, if I have Dir/ and dir/, and Dir/ is empty now (all in
the Attic) and I do a checkout, I get the contents of dir/, but they are
stored in Dir/ (and even the Entries file is wrong!):

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2004-04/msg00219.html

(BTW: This even happens the 1.11.15.)


The issue then went over the \r vs. \n, but not in the Entries file.

You're right, there was no "Move away - it is in the way" error in my
case, but I got a

cvs server: src/arch/os2/Snippets/Makefile.am is no longer in the repository

which is not much better than the "move it away" message.

Best regards,
   Spiro.
