Normally, the first committed version should start from 1. Version 0 is identical with branch point. But now I got a only version 0, and this prevent me to checkin any other version coz it warned me that the branch already created. As explained in "Before adding files and directories to source control" , the version 0 is a placeholder marking the start for all versions in a given branch: You can end up with only the version 0 when you undo-checkout a file you just checked out in a new branch (in that case, only a version 0 for the newly created branch remains). Regarding branches, you can have

I'm using the ClearCase Automation Library (CAL) in a tool that helps me keep track of unintegrated changes; now I'd like to extend the tool so I can also make checkins through it. For this feature, I need to find the local copy of a Snapshot View. While I can ask CC which View is attached to a certain directory, I cannot seem to find a function to look up the local directory for a given View; also it appears as if the most reliable method to find out whether a Snapshot View exists locally is to compare the HostName property against the local computer name. So: Given the IClearCase interface,

My question is about the way in which Git handles branches: whenever you branch from a commit, this branch won’t ever receive changes from the parent branch unless you force it with a merge. But in other systems such us Clearcase or Accurev, you can specify how branches get filled with some sort of inheritance mechanism : I mean, with Clearcase, using a config_spec, you can say “get all the files modified on branch /main/issue001 and then continue with the ones on /main or with this specific baseline”. In Accurev you also have a similar mechanism which let’s streams receive changes from upper

I'm a ClearCase newbie and up until now have been used to SVN. Therefore, I'm a bit confused on the steps I need to take to create a new directory structure containing multiple files to ClearCase. So, say for example there is an existing directory structure within ClearCase as follows: \ParentDirectory \ChildDirectory1 \File1 \File2 \ChildDirectory2 \ChildDirectory3 \File1 \ChildDirectory4 If I want to add a new subdirectory to this structure, ChildDirectory5, which will contain a number of other files, how do I go about this? From what I have been reading, I will need to first of all check
