This works fine on linux file systems (i.e. ext2/3). When the file is located on a vfat partition it doesn't work as expected. To reproduce the error: On a linux system open emacs with: patrick@trurl:~$ emacs -q --no-site-file & then open a file (`C-x C-f') junk.txt enter something and save it (`C-x C-w /myvatmount/junk.txt') on a _vfat partition_. After saving the file I would like to execute vc-next-action (`C-x v v'; this works with a linux file system as expected). No matter if I answer the following question (whether to create a RCS subdirectory) with "yes" or "no" I end with the following error: ,---- | RCS/junk.txt,v <-- junk.txt | initial revision: 1.1 | ci: RCS/junk.txt,v: Operation not permitted | ci: saved in RCS/,junk.txt, `---- The vfat partition is mounted with "umask=000". Appears to be a case sensitive problem since the directory created is named "rcs" and not "RCS".
