Subject: [PATCH] Fix t9200 on case insensitive file systems
Message-ID: <201210261818.25620.tboegi@web.de>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/201210261818.25620.tboegi%40web.de

```
t9200 defines $CVSROOT where cvs should init its repository
$CVSROOT is set to $PWD/cvsroot.
cvs init is supposed to create the repository inside $PWD/cvsroot/CVSROOT

"cvs init" (e.g. version  1.11.23) checks if the last element of the path is
"CVSROOT", and if a directory with e.g. $PWD/cvsroot/CVSROOT already exists.

For such a $CVSROOT cvs refuses to init a repository here:
"Cannot initialize repository under existing CVSROOT:

On a case insenstive file system cvsroot and CVSROOT are the same directories
and t9200 fails.

Solution: use $PWD/tmp/cvsroot instead of cvsroot $PWD/cvsroot

FWIW, this looks obviously correct given the code snippet from the cvs
version you shared the other day.

Thanks

Wouldn't tmp/cvsroot have the same problem, since the basename is still
cvsroot?

Ah, but here you do something different, which makes sense. Should I
tweak the commit message?
