commit cannot Lock issue

[version wizard]

Hi

A developer created a file say typedef.Image, then removed it

and recreated a new file with different case Typedef.Image

and when he try to commit this new file he gets an error like

 

cvs server: cannot lock `path to filename/Attic/Typedef.Image,v'

 

Since this is a new file there is no admin lock on this file.

I have tried removing this from cvs and re-adding/commiting.

But we Hit the above error repeatedly.

 

Has someone faced this Error before?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
