When users integrate between branches, they will sometimes allow a Makefile or other similar build-related file to be integrated when it shouldn't. The result is that the overnight build will break.

In general, is there a way to disallow some files from being integrated?

After the first branching is done you can try remove all Makefiles from the branch view (not the client views) by adding a line in the branch specification. This will prevent users from integrating files in a branch without affecting protections and clients. This may be a non ideal solution, but thats all I know for the moment beeing. See example below:

Branch: sharc_sm

Date: 1998/07/07 14:37:03

Owner: qsbpef

Description: Bla bla.

View: //depot/main/src/... //depot/rel1.0/src/... -//depot/main/src/...Makefile //depot/rel1.0/src/...Makefile

Hope this helps!
