Use this to understand each vendors terms for the same concept:
| Concept | ClearCase | CVS | Dimensions | and here | etc |
| Get a file to change | Check file out | Update | Checkout | | |
| Save a changed file | Check file in | Commit | Checkin | | |
| Private place/environment to make changes | Development workspace | | Development workspace | | |
| Shared place/environment to make changes | Integration workspace | | Workset | | |
| Update private working environment | Rebase | Checkout | Merge | | |
| Central place to keep files | Repository | Module? | Repository | | |
| Central Files live in a | VOB | O/S Directory | OS Directory | | |
| add more ... | | | | | |
Hmmn - this looks like its trying to do much the same thing as the "Tools" appendix in the
ScmPatterns? book. I thight
CVS used the "update" command for the equivalent of rebase. Under "concept" perhaps we should use the terms from Susan Dart's book "CM: The missing lik for web engineering". That seems to be a pretty comprehensive list for starters.
