As someone who has to use ClearCase UCM at work (damned politics!) I can tell you that I very much prefer creating a separate view (directory) for each branch as I used to do in Base ClearCase. All too often you end up having to deliver multiple activities together because someone else made a change that touched files that you have modified in separate activities, and because you can't deliver without rebasing you end up forced to deliver both changes together (because the rebase creates a dependency between the files). Now, I don't know if git has a similar problem, but it makes me wary of any VCS which purports to work with multiple branches, etc in a single directory. Tim Delaney

This may be possible in other dvcs's , but git is the only one I've seen advertise the capability.
