Summary: cvs update warnings

Initial Comment:
On Windows, when you do "cvs update" in the "Mac/IDE

scripts" directory, you get the following warnings

(example uses Cygwin, but it also happens with other

CVS clients):



$ cd "Mac/IDE scripts"; cvs update

? Hold option to open a script

? Insert file name

? Insert folder name

? Search Python Documentation

? Hack/Remove .pyc files

? Hack/Toolbox Assistant

cvs server: Updating .

cvs server: Updating Hack

cvs server: Updating Widget demos

$



This is due to the fact that Windows can't deal with

periods at the end of file names.  All files giving

warnings end in "...".  These periods are removed when

the files get created, and so CVS sees the files

without periods and complains about them.



At one level the solution is simple: rename those

files.  At another level, I don't know what the

consequences are for the Mac, so assigning to Just

(Jack doesn't seem to want to deal with this :-)

It's now past 2.3 final, so can you look into this again?

I've lived with this for years.  A few more weeks won't matter.

Any objections to postponing this to after 2.3 final? The thing is, 

currently these file names map to menu items directly, and to fix 

this I have to build a way to specify the menu item from within 

the file. This will cause way more changes than I'm comfortable 

with, just before 2.3. Removing the spaces from folder names can 

be done at the same time.
