Yes, so you've said, and my post didn't doubt that in any way. I'm of
course highly intrigued by what high-falutin' mystery system you might
be working on.

That's pretty rich considering it's taken repeated prompting to get
answers to rather straightforward questions.

Anyway, now that the case-sensitivity issue seems to have been ruled
out, let's go back to an earlier post in this thread:

The way I understand this, the open() call shouldn't fail with ENOENT
given those arguments, because O_CREAT is set and there is no
directory component in the pathname.

What type of file system is your checkout on?
