Maybe it is, maybe it ain't.
Just a couple of thoughts that did not crop up in the discussion.
* So the history is in the CC DB. As with all DB's, you have the problem of
getting just the data you want. Say, you have an element with a lively
past - several branches, some of them merged into main, some not, and some
of the latter still active, while others are dead ends (back release
bugfixes or whatever). And now someone is looking at /main/43 and the
output of cleartool lshistory... How fast can (s)he determine which of the
checkin comments apply to this very version?
* I do not advocate duplicating the checkin comments into the source text.
But there is still the need for producing an audit trail for some version
(back to /main/1 or some younger ancestor), and this is not trivial. -
Yes, I know about Merge hyperlinks... And the possibility of Merge
hyperlinks indicating a selective merge... And of merges without Merge
hyperlinks...
