[p4] filename case woes: cannot rename Foo.H to Foo.h

[Strelzyk, Stephen]

I believe you will have to make your change on the linux side.  You can
do a "cp Foo.H Foo.h" in the filesystem which will work.  You can then
do a p4 add on the new file and a p4 Delete on the old followed by p4
submit.  The downside is that your revision graph will be off.  It may
be necessary to p4 sync to each revision manually to rebuild your
revision graph with the correct casing.

Hi,

We have a perforce server running on windows 2003, and mostly
windows-based
clients.  Unfortunately, we have a number of check-ins where "Foo.h" was
accidentally named "Foo.H".  This doesn't bother MSVC, but it does
bother
gcc on linux.  :-(

How can I rename the file?

I've tried the P4V "Rename/Move" command (gives "no permission" error),
and simply deleting it and re-adding it (file comes back with original
name).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Steve
