Subject: Clearcase UCM VS GIT. - by: MarcGirod

Would an answer like "it depends" be ok

som pros for clearcase

- partial checkouts
- acls (sort of)
- support (not to overestimate though, its ibm)
- integrations if needed (scc, visual studio, mature
eclipse)
- lock bevor edit (if required)
- ui (not the best, but at least)

some pros for git
- cost
- full offline capabilites (dvcs)
- some other cool stuff

As an bazaar and clearcase user I *can* say that a significant "shift of mindset" (hard for some types of developers) ist required while switching from clearcase to git (or bazaar).

And if you have customized ClearCase (ClearQuest Integration, Perl Triggers...) you have to find new solutions/ways with git for this.

Perhapes a evaluation and afterwards creating a demo usage szenario with git would be required.

Sorry, no shortcuts available for this IMHO.
