Re: [Bug-cvs] bug with cvs ignore processing?

Thanks Michael. I can see that as a workaround it is OK to go in the
repository and rename the file. But what about things like the local Entries
file. Do I have to perform an update there as well? Also if looked at my trace
carefully you probably noticed that I first removed the file in CVS, hence
sending it into the attic and then tried to add the new filename. But CVS
server thinks that I want to re-add the old file. I still think this is a
problem and not an NT'ish thing. Even NT allows me to rename a file to a new
'case'. But CVS appears not to allow that, unless you use a workaround.
