No, there isn't and there shouldn't be, IMHO. Whenever you see something
like that, it is a strong hint that your "hierarchy" is overengineered.
One of the steps you're doing above is redundant. Either don't replicate
/main/dvt-int-4.3.1/feat-x to /main/dvt-int-4.3.2/feat-y or, if it serves
your purposes better, don't merge /main/dvt-int-4.3.1/feat-x into
/main/dvt-int-4.3.2, but instead merge /main/dvt-int-4.3.1/feat-x into
/main/dvt-int-4.3.2/feat-y, _then_ merge into /main/dvt-int-4.3.2.
This being said, it would be great if one could simply rename
/main/dvt-int-4.3.1/feat-x to /main/dvt-int-4.3.2/feat-y, and I always
wished that ClearCase would support something like this, but instead they
waste their time with UCM :):):)
