Supporting Serial Development in VOB Replicas


The standard ClearCase development model is to use branches to develop software in parallel, and the standard MultiSite model is to master different branch types at different replicas so that development can proceed concurrently at different replicas. These models require you to merge changes from branch to branch.

However, sometimes sites must use serial development (for example, to make changes to elements whose versions cannot be merged). To support serial development, there are two models for changing mastership:
