Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Having a hard time updating renamed Ethereal.desktop to ethereal.desktop file with To

[Ulf Lamping <ulf.lamping@xxxxxx>]

Hi List!

Just wanted you to know...

When updating to latest Ethereal SVN trunk, I ran into deep troubles 
with TortoiseSVN 1.0.8 :-(

The file Ethereal.desktop was renamed on the (unix/linux?) server to 
ethereal.desktop some days ago.

This makes problems with client filesystems (namely windows ones), that 
don't distinguish between case sensitive files (as Guy Harris noted some 
days before).

As I can't remember the correct errors reported by TortoiseSVN, I will 
try to repeat the steps getting my sources up to date:

(unless otherwise noted, context action from TortoiseSVN):
update (error)
update only the file Ethereal.desktop (now this file is gone)
update (error)
trying cygwin command line: svn update ethereal.desktop (-> this isn't a 
svn repository)
removed any files named like Ethereal.desktop from the dir \.svn
renamed in \.svn\entries Ethereal.desktop -> ethereal.desktop
update

So I got it back to live this way.

As a workaround, when having to renames files like this, it might help 
to rename it first to Ethereal2.desktop and then to ethereal.desktop.

This really has to be improved by the TortoiseSVN people. Having a short 
look at their mailing list, they already know about this.
