I need to maintain a project in CVS that was originally developed under Windows. (The compiler runs under Wine.)

Anyhow... I want to somehow designate to CVS that such-and-so project is "case insensitive," even if the underlying host system is not. In other words, I want it to interpret each filename that is checked-in or checked-out to the repository for this project in a case-insensitive manner. (Slight variations of case are a fact of life in Windows systems, where a file might be bah.EXE or bah.exe.)

Ideas? Recommends?

"--ignore-case" is only available for the 'diff' cvs command.

So, I guess it's either hack-the-source time, or just spend the time to normalize the case in your files.

I was thinking you may be able to use the 'commitinfo' file to create a case-insensitive regex that will trap the commit and enact it on the *real* file, but the more I think about it, the more I think it would just cause an endless loop. Plus, it would only work for commits, not for checkouts.

I think the path of least resistance is just to normalize the files...

Thought so. Umm, there isn't a pre-existing utility to do that, is there? I mean, it's not hard to bang one out but ...
