I recently had a developer come across sugh a problem with a file being
renamed on him by some tool. However, they found one case where it still is
possible to add a file with just changed case using TSVN. If you do a commit
based on the folder, it renames the file back fine. If instead you right
click the changed case file, it instead acts like it is an unversioned file
and present the add option. If you choose this add option, then a commit on
that file or the folder presents it as an add of the file, and no longer
changes the case back. This seems to only be a problem with files, not
directories. Renaming directories has no effect on the menu's listed or any
of the operations.
Is it possible that the case-renaming done on a commit could also be done
when right clicking files that appear unversioned?
I've already told the developer to just do commits on a directory, not
specific files. However, it'd be nice if this behavior was consistent. If
instead, this is left like this intentially to allow adding such files I'd
like to know.
Thanks,
