Get list of files changed in GIT, after i do commit? One possibility: move to the root of the clearcase project set GIT_DIR to point to the .git directory (which, presumably is outside the clearcase project) and some combination of: git diff --name-only git diff-index --name-status HEAD If clearcase wasn't so painful you would ideally just run 'git checkout -f' to make clearcase match git, but clearcase is horrible and you have to explicitly 'clearcase checkout' each file. > 2.

If you get this stuff working with native clearcase commands, then others could benefit from your work. bi-directional git<->cc can be tricky (and importing all of branches can be even trickier), but even being able to import one branch is better than nothing, no? The reason I replied is that I, too, once wrote a similar tool to suck cc projects into git. One project was so huge (and cc sucks so bad) that it literally took a few weeks for it to import. Our organization also ran vob backups at 2am everynight, so I couldn't just let it run continuously since clearcase would lock the script out at 2am. It ran incrementally, and lots of other site-specific hacks. I don't know clearcase at all (our site used a bunch of in-house wrapper commands) so I never bothered to make it work with raw cc commands. That's why I have nothing to share. It was also a total hack and once I got the stuff I wanted out of it, you can bet that I never looked back (which is why the bi-directional part was not important to me at all). clearcase.. wow <shudders> All it does is remind me of this horrible, horrible cc mvfs kernel module bug that was going around deleting automounts... okay.. enough scary thoughts. kudos for fighting the good fight, -- David -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
