Re: [MinGW port] Unable to repack on Clearcase dynamic views

2007/5/30, Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy [off-list ref]:

Hi,

On clearcase dynamic views (kind of virtual drives), "mv -f a b" won't
work if "a" is read-only. Because git-repack.sh removes all write
permission before moving packs, it fails on clearcase dynamic views.

My approach is rather ugly. Does anyone have a better solution?

I hate clearcase, but honestly I have used it forced by a customer..
The real problem is why you need to do a repack in a CC view, but..

to move a file in a Clearcase view you have to use 'cleartool mv ...'
(or 'cleartool relocate') and not the UNIX mv command...

..and he directory where the element to be moved or renamed resides
must be checked out.
