CVS works just fine - it's just that the filesystem is case insensitive [1], so when you check out src/contrib, the distinction between src/contrib/CVS [2] src/contrib/cvs is lost, and Bad Shit happens. Try using Disk Copy to setup and mount a blank (UFS) image, or having a separate UFS partition. [1] Unless your filesystem is UFS, rather than HFS+, in which case you'll have lots of interesting other problmes. [2] CVS keeps a shedload of metadata here -- Am I getting older, or are these shows getting more entertaining? -- Flash, on Children in Need.
