Hi there, I hope some CVS guru can help me out here... I´ve tried to rename a file extension to lowercase in the LiveUser project. The only way to do this (that I know of) is to remove that file, rename it locally, and then re-add it. I did this, and this is what CVS has to say about my plans: cvs add Auth_XML.xml (in directory F:\WinCVS_Root\pear\Perm_LiveUser\sql\) cvs server: re-adding file Auth_XML.xml (in place of dead revision 1.4) cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently I guess that's why you are using WinCVS and Windows, wich isn't case-sensitive, you should try the same thing under Unix, or mabye it also works with cygwin.

A better way for renaming files is to copy it directly in the repository to the new name, and then remove the old one with WinCVS, then you don't loose the history. bye, -- ------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Michael Bretterklieber - Michael.Bretterklieber@jawa.at JAWA Management Software GmbH - http://www.jawa.at Liebenauer Hauptstr. 200 -------------- privat --------------- A-8041 GRAZ GSM: ++43-(0)676-93 96 698 Tel: ++43-(0)316-403274-12 E-mail: michael@bretterklieber.com Fax: ++43-(0)316-403274-10 http://www.bretterklieber.com ------------------------------- ------------------------------------- "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
