I get this problem under MacOS X, since it uses a non case-sensitive filesystem as well. I'd support it being fixed if possible.
everyone who wants Config files to become Config.lbc tell me.
Everyone who wants to rename the config directories as config.d, tell me.
Renaming config to config.d won't help as you will retain phantom directories in CVS. So the problem will continue, except for releases.
I don't know if renaming the Config files will help, either, but it should as deleted files are not checked out. How about just Config.lb I don't think the extra c buys us anything.
In addition while I can see supporting case insensitive filesystems supporting only 8.3 filenames is out. We have files in the tree that are too long already and it will be too easy to make that mistake.
