Ouach, I was not aware that non-case sensitive fs was   
still in use :)   
  
Hum, several time we have directories with this kind of  
names. But aren't you have to use a case sensitive fs like  
ext3 or whatever with MacOS X (maybe not for / but a least  
for some partitions)?

I just figured out this bug.  



The problem is with the directory 



savannah/etc/site-specific-content/cvs



I am running on Mac OS X and have a HFS+ partition.  This particular file 

system is case preserving but not case sensitive.  So during the checkout 

the CVS directory is being overwritten by the cvs  directory and messing 

things up.  I will just use my linux box later this weekend to grab it.



I do not know what the GNU standards are for naming files and 

directories are but I know that internally we cannot use to names that 

differ only in case for exactly this reason.  This will also cause problems 

for some windows users and OS/2 users if you care about them ;-)

  

Thanks for all your help,



-Eric
