As far as versioning empty skeleton trees, there has been considerable debate among ClearCase users whether this is actually a good practice. The dominant reason for having skeleton trees is as receptacles for build objects. However, this plays directly to ClearCase's speed deficiencies. I've seen builds occur anywhere from 2-10X slower putting their derived objects into the ClearCase mvfs file system instead of to a local file system. [...]

Yep. I use snapshot views for builds nowadays. I agree that back in the old pre-4.0 days it was bad...

Anyway, as soon as I can do source tree reorgs as cleanly as I can do them in ClearCase, I'm ditching it in favor of p4... Rational has a serious attitude problem - which is why I'm lurking on this list in the first place.
