CVS changing the case of repository files

Hi,

I have found a bug when using cvs on Windows 2000.

Cvs Version: 1.11.6
OS Version: Windows 2000
Description:
When mounting a samba-exported file system and a user
specifies a file name with the incorrect case, the file name
in the repository will be renamed with the incorrect case.

For example,
If your current CVSROOT is 
e:/cvs
and the file in the repository is 
e:/cvs/fake/file,v
if a user checks out the file like this

cvs co -d e:/cvs fake

then tags the file

cd fake
cvs tag some_arbitrary_tag FILE

the repository file will be renamed

e:/cvs/fake/FILE,v

Attached are the diff for the changed files.  Additionally, two files were
added
under windows-NT which are
windows-NT/rcs.h
windows-NT/rcs.c

The patch also includes a change to windows-NT/filesubr.c which allows it to
be built.

Thanks,
Lysander <<change.diff>>  <<rcs.c>>  <<rcs.h>>
