Well, I checked the MS manual and they say if you run the import
operation from within the VOB itself (set to a view) you get more info
in the error messages, so I did and I did :).

The longer message says:

  text_file_delta: Error: Internal Error detected in "../afd_container.c" line 288
  multitool: Error: Type manager "text_file_delta" failed delete_branches_versions operation.
  multitool: Error: Unable to replay oplog entry 25096200: error detected by ClearCase subsystem.

I checked that branch (/main/submit_isos_10269) and there's nothing
there: it has only a 0 version. I don't know exactly what you mean by
a "long branch"; you mean a long branch name? Or lots of versions?
Anyway, neither of these seems to be the case.

Unfortunately no one at Rational appears to be responding to my support
request; I guess it's the weekend and all. I don't know what kind of
escalation we (Nortel) have with them, if any, since I'm not actually in
charge of this stuff :). I'm trying to get ahold of our releng folks...
On the face of it this doesn't appear to be something I can do much
about myself. I've thought of trying to regen the package at the
sending site, but I don't have any privileges over there either.

Argh.

Thanks...
