If you use the native API you can create foo.bar and FOO.BAR in the same directory. And probably give yourself a massive headache if you want to use windows tools. > Yes, the problem is with CVS, not with Cygwin.

OT but possibly of interest, case-sensitivity (or otherwise) and how to handle it has been a topic of some heated debate on the subversion and tortoisesvn maling lists on and off. Consensus on how to handle this has proved, shall we say, 'elusive'.
