I have tried to find a way in clearcase, using cleartool
to identify CRs - which introduced specific lines in source code for a given file. I'm looking for equivalent or very similar functionality to:
git blame -L <line_num1>,<line_num2> <filename>
, which is documented at git blame
.
Is it possible to query clearcase repository to retrieve this information ?
I can grep
trough all visible file branches, but this is not exactly what I'm searching for.
Thanks in advance.
The main command, with classic ClearCase, is cleartool annotate
(you also have some alternatives).
This isn't exactly like git blame -L
, as you cannot limit to a portion of a file.
With the long format, that would give:
cleartool annotate -long msg.c
Annotated result written to "msg.c.ann".
type msg.c.ann

That applies to one file (or list of files separated by a space)
