git mv of directories might leave directories checked out in ClearCase

General Page

If using git mv with a DevOps Code ClearCase GitView, it is possible that a directory might be left checked out in the ClearCase environment, causing future deliver operations to fail.

If this occurs, log in to the GitView server as the user who created the view and cd to the directory: /var/www/git/<gitview-tag>/gwtca/<vob-tag>/

and run the following command:

cleartool ci -cact
