>>>Yes, and not only CVS, every SCM/DVCS tool that can work in multiplatform environment can have this problem, because Windows is the only operating system that don't care about capitalization of files (I've read in same place that it is configurable at the File System level), but many other systems do care, so you can "Thisfile" and "thisfile" in the same directory, because they are treated as independent files. On Windows one file overrites the other.

>>>So on various SCM/DVCS tools if you first checkin a "project.pjx" and later you checkin a "project.PJX" or "PROJECT.PJX", you can have a ton of problems because when both files arrives from the BDD or Server to the Windows File System, the last file, whichever is it, will overwrite the earlier.

Hm, to me it seems to be enough to have the txt files, the rest is specific to the CVS / whatever. :)
