What's the "proper" way to delete files from a ClearCase snapshot?
When I delete a file from my snapshot view, the next time I look at the snapshot in ClearCase Explorer, it shows the "??" checked-out-but-removed icon.

I started a new project and created a local git repo with "git init" and now I have a few branches and everything works great.

Continuous integration with multiple branch development
In the project that I'm working on, we are using SVN with 'Stable Trunk' strategy. What that means is that for each bug that is found, QA opens a bug ticket and assigns it to a developer. Then, a developer fixes that bug and checks it in a branch (off trunk, let's call this the bug branch) and that branch will only contain fixes for that...

Whenever someone asks what to do with code that is no longer needed the answer is usually "delete it, restore it from source control if you need it back".

Scenario for evaluating source/version control tools
We're currently researching different source control tools, and want to test each one with some light-weight but meaningful scenario to get a feel for the capabilities of each one.

R and version control for the solo data analyst
Many data analysts that I respect use version control. For example: http://github.com/hadley/ See comments on http://permut.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/revision-control-statistics-bleg/ However, I'm evaluating whether adopting a version control system such as git would be worthwhile.
