Re: Merge in Revision Graph

Subversion is more convenient in most cases, because subversion can treat
many versions of file elements(called in ClearCase) as a single revision.
If you want to move some file versions to tag branch, you can commit these
file versions into a subversion revision , then merge only this revison
into tag branch.

If developers forget many file versions, ClearCase will be clumsy.

Re-create tag may not work well if newer versions has been created before
the "commit" of forgotten versions, because additional "revert" is needed.
