To Prune or Not to Prune
Options to cleaning up version tree
- Obsolete branches (ct lock -obsolete)
- Remove branches (rmtype/rmbranch)
Recommended to obsolete metadata instead of removing it
Obsolete data still remains in the repository for historical purposes;not visible by default for most ClearCase operations
Removed data is gone forever
- Not much disk space gain realized
- Important to preserve complete transaction history for audit purposes
