Reverting a users changes in ClearCase

问题:

We use ClearCase as control version system.

In our system sometimes we make releases without some developers commits because of time limit.

For example I made some changes in six classes but another user did changes in all or some of them also. And I have to commit code without his changes. So I scan my files with previous versions so that I can revert his changes. But it's a slow and boring process.

Is there another way to do that? Maybe an extension or a script?

回答1:

The only way to automate that process is through:

• subtractive merge or negative merge (as described in this IBM article):
  cleartool merge -to filename -delete -ver \main\branch\version_number

• cset.pl, which can take all the checkins of an UCM activity and cancel them.
  See "Clearcase: how to rollback all changes on specific branch?".
  But this is for UCM (which might not be your case)

In both cases, the idea is to create a new version which cancels the version of your other developer.
