Convert from Subversion to ClearCase

[Pontus Strand <Po...@oss.teleca.se>]

Hi,

My project manager droped a minor bomb on me today when he demanded that I
move the source code for my current project from Subversion to ClearCase. So
the question is: Can this be done while keeping all of the revision history,
etc? Or should I just create a new repository (or whatever it is called in
ClearCase) using the lastest version of the code?

I might add that I have never worked with ClearCase before and I have only
used Subversion as an end-user (as opposed to being an administrator).

Best regards

I did something similar MKS to ClearCase for a ClearCase evaluation at 
my last company... ClearCase kept telling us it was easy, and sending in 
consultants and if you just blah blah blah... and instead we ended up 
writing a script that basically checked out the initial revision of each 
and every member, then checked it back in to ClearCase... and when we 
were finished they told us that was the best way to do it.

The downside for us was while we maintained revision history of each 
member this way, we lost the project wide checkpoints... but obviouslly 
a smarter script could've maintained that... however, we didn't end up 
going with ClearCase so I never had to worry about that.
