Re: windows filenames

[Paul Gelderblom \(ptok\)]

Write a commitinfo script.

This is a serverside script that is run during the commit process before the
actual commit is done.
It allows you to deny the commit based on your rules.
In the script , you can access the repository and check if rcs files with
similar names (i.e. only differing in case) exist in the repository
directory.

See the Cederquist chapter c.3.2
