Absolutely not. AFAIK that mis-advice has _never_ been correct.

Where did you read that? I didn't see any topic along those lines at

Again, that is complete mis-information. Which posts are you referring to? I
strongly suspect you have misread them.

I've been using CVS on a Windows client, with a UNIX server, for 8 years.
The only problems I've encountered are related to the case-sensitive vs.
case-insensitive file systems.
