1/22    Clearcase SUCKS. PureAtria is full of dumb shits who really know how
        to market their sucky product.
                \_ it doesnt scale well unless you have great clue in
                   implementing it.. if implemented correctly it scales
                   well beyond dozens and dozens of groups of about 100
                   users each.. w/ fault tolerance of everything except
                   the views (which can be done too tho not worth it).
                   -shac
                \_ I actually happened to have used clearcase and I think
                   that it's really good. Its scalability sucks (so dont
                   use it for a group larger than 10 people) but
                   otherwise, it beats all other revision control systems
                   hands down.
                \_ I don't know what either of you are talking about!
                   I used Clearcase at Oracle, with over 100 active branches
                   of development on 80 platforms around the world. The source
                   in excess of 800MB, and it rocked! stable+fast. I think
                   that you must be the dumbshit, if you haven't ever worked on
                   something larger than your last CS61B project, you'd know!
                   \_ You're at Oracle. 'nuff said.
                   \_ I took 60b and use RCS.  Am I stupid?
                        \_ Duh. Any VC system that doesn't scale from managing
                           1 file to 2 files doesn't deserve to be mentioned.
                           \_ I asked if you think I'm stupid.  The point
                              being, RCS is good enough for my uses.  Use the
                              right tool for the job.  Don't use a sledge
                              hammer to put a thumb tack in a cork board.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/3     In "p4 client", modtime/nomodtime sets the file timestamp to
        either the modification time from submitting client or the time that
        the file is fetched.  Is there a way to set the file timestamp to
        the time that the file was submitted, like what ClearCase does?  Thx.
        \_ How is this different from the modtime option? Are you concerned
           about clock skew or timezone differences?

1/10    In subversion (svn) is there a way to check out a file from
        a different BRANCH for diff purposes?
        \_ More specifically, do you want to compare your working copy of
           file.c with one in a branch?  Or do you want to compare the
           repository copy of file.c in trunk vs. file.c in branch?
           \_ compare a particular revision in trunk with a particular

10/3    Is there a command in cvs that'll tell me what files I've
        editted/changed from the original cvs update?  \_ Use the -n flag.
        I normally use cvs -n update.  \_ Do you have to use CVS or can
        you migrate to something else?
           \_ Yeah, subversion is quite nice.  I hated it at first, though
              \_ How do you find out what files I've editted in svn?

10/24   So why is Firefox at 2.0 now?  Granted this revision is a bit bigger
        than most minor revisions, but neither the program architecture or
        plugin interface changed much.
        \_ Marketing?  Maybe even free software needs marketing?
