How to add a directory tree to a ClearCase repository?

Question

I have a directory tree with sub-directories, and I want to add it to a ClearCase repository. Currently I need to rename the directory, use CC's mkdir, and so forth for every dir. Is there a way to do this automatically (maybe a ClearCase command I don't know about, or a script)?

Answer 1

I would recommend using clearfsimport.
See:

• "How can I use ClearCase to “add to source control …” recursively?".
• "Creating a new subdirectory structure in ClearCase?"

What is nice with this script is that is will:

• checkout the parent directories,
• make the necessary mkdir for adding new directories
• do the mkelem for adding new elements.
