Description Axel Mueller

2008-01-17 08:01:05 EST

During CVS update I got the following message box:
A resource exists with a different case.

The CVS update is then cancelled (for all files!).

Here is the output from the logfile:

Check the /Procitec_src/programs/sda/sdaapp/ folder before an update. It seems that SdaLanguage.prt file exists there but with a different case.

If you can't see the local file in the navigator, synchronize the workspace before an update.

Yes, there is another file with a different case. However, the problem that I have is that
1) Eclipse stops update process because one *single* file has a case mismatch
2) Eclipse stops with an error message and does not give me any options e.g. ignore CVS file, compare/merge files, overwrite local file.

I must admit that the current user experience can be annoying. A popping up dialog with the options suggested by Axel sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, we don't have the manpower to address it at this time. Please feel free to provide us a patch and I will be happy to help you with it.

CVS is obsolete. We moved to git a long time ago.
