I hate clearcase, but honestly I have used it forced by a customer.. The real problem is why you need to do a repack in a CC view, but..
I don't like it either :) But you remind me the Matthias' workdir patchset. With that I can move out .git to a real drive/filesystem (which should also give better performance). I think it's a valid use case. Anyone remember why Matthias' patchset was dropped? It was last mentioned in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/43041 Junio, Matthias? May I help?
to move a file in a Clearcase view you have to use 'cleartool mv ...' (or 'cleartool relocate') and not the UNIX mv command...
'cleartool mv' is used for clearcase-manages files. My git repository are private files.
..and he directory where the element to be moved or renamed resides must be checked out.
