would git-cc work properly when cleartool diff is reconfigured?

[hexcoder-]

Thanks for your work, which helped me a lot. I used it to migrate my project from ClearCase to git.

After fixing issue #35 and issue #59, gitcc rebase ran without any reported errors.

But since I had configured cleartool diff to use the external "beyond compare" tool (in file D:\Programs\IBM\RationalSDLC\clearcase\lib\mgrs\map),
every cleartool diff call caused the script to open the interactive "beyond compare" gui,
which waits for the user to manually close it. Then the script proceeded.
So in total I had to close around 40 times the "beyond compare" window in order to proceed.

Also I am not sure, if the expected output from the original cleartool diff matches the one from beyond compare.

My question is: Do you think, it is necessary to undo the configuration for cleartool diff?

Second issue: Are symbolic links supported by git, windows 10 and git-cc?
After migrating they seemed to be lacking.

Thanks!

@hexcoder- sorry for the very long delay. Did you get things working?

Regarding Beyond Compare, that sounds annoying. If it were git, I know we can override the global mergetool configuration and use the raw diff required. I had a look at the cleartool manual but unfortunately it didn't seem to suggest an option.

Regarding symbolic links, I don't really know the state of symlink support in windows. A comment here appears to imply it might be supported, but I don't use windows I'm afraid.
