ClearCase: change branch type name?

I used mkbrtype BRANCH_NAME, checked out a few files, had some check-ins, etc. Now I discovered I had a typo in the branch name, and it looks pretty ugly. Is there a way I can change the branch name and still have all the versions/checkouts under it? I'm the only one using it.

The methods listed previously probably work, but I just wanted to show the way I did it.

Usage:

cleartool chtype -nc new_branch "filepath@@old_branch"

Example:

cleartool chtype -c "Better name" maintenance "main.c@@\main\branch"

Note: -nc is no comment

You can rename a brtype with the ct rename command.

cleartool rename brtype:oldname@\vob newname

But you will need to:

  • change the config spec of your view (non-UCM): no side-effect on checked out files
  • or change the name of the stream, remove and recreate your view no the new Stream name (UCM). Your checked-out files still have their checked-out status, but you have to save their local modified content first to re-apply that content to the new view.
