Ouach, I was not aware that non-case sensitive fs was
still in use :)
Hum, several time we have directories with this kind of
names. But aren't you have to use a case sensitive fs like
ext3 or whatever with MacOS X (maybe not for / but a least
for some partitions)?

I just figured out this bug.
The problem is with the directory
savannah/etc/site-specific-content/cvs
I am running on Mac OS X and have a HFS+ partition. This particular file
system is case preserving but not case sensitive. So during the checkout
the CVS directory is being overwritten by the cvs directory and messing
things up. I will just use my linux box later this weekend to grab it.
I do not know what the GNU standards are for naming files and
directories are but I know that internally we cannot use to names that
differ only in case for exactly this reason. This will also cause problems
for some windows users and OS/2 users if you care about them ;-)
Thanks for all your help,
-Eric
