Why am I only getting clear version 0?

Question

Usually the first perfect version should start with 1. Version 0 is identical to the branch point. But now I have a single version 0, and this prevents me from checking any other version, because it warned me that the branch was already created.

Answer 1

As explained in "Before adding files and directories to the source control" , version 0 is a placeholder indicating the beginning for all versions in this branch:

You can only get version 0 when you cancel checking the file that you just checked in a new branch (in this case, only version 0 remains for the newly created branch).

For branches, you may have an error like " element already has a branch of type branch ", but only when there is a problem with the server and the client’s time (hours) are not synchronized .

Answer 2

ClearCase creates version 0 when creating an item (or branch), which is usually automatically extracted. Version 0 is always either empty or the same as the forked version, as you noted. There shouldn't be any problems just checking in version 1 on top of it.

Please note that branches are created during verification, and not during registration, so you should not receive any warnings during registration. If you post the exact command line and warnings / errors, we can probably help you.

You may have created a new item in your branch and you are missing the "/ main / 0 -mkbranch" in the configuration specification.
