2012-09-22 05:54 AEST by Glen Starrett - CVS Suite 2010 trial installed with case sensitive driver.  The current
directory is configured for case sensitivity, but the files present differ by
more than just case.

Both command line and TortoiseCVS were tested with CVS Add.

* TCVS Make new module wintest1
* TCVS Add Contents, set file format to ASCII, get error in add dialog (attached)

* At CLI, try to Add files without --utf8 flag, fails.
* At CLI, try to Add files with --utf8 flag, fails.  Got trace of this one
(attached).

Note that there's no way to get TCVS to use --utf8 as far as I can tell. 
Separate bug 6559 filed with cvsrc bug preventing proper UTF TCVS handling.

TCVS Make New Module

Nothing exciting or out of ordinary here, but this makes the uncontrolled
directory a module

TCVS Add dialog

Add dialog with format of files set.  Note the filenames look like they do in
console (not unicode text here apparently).

TCVS Add output dialog

Shows error from add output.  Same error message as at command line with the
--utf8 option set (can't set that option with TCVS).

2012-10-05 08:00 AEST by Glen Starrett - Workaround:  If you add with the filename explicitly, then it works.  This only
seems to be a problem when using "cvs add *":
