Rational ClearCase (and Emacs integration)
Once again, Emacs rocks! Here at my new client we use Rational ClearCase for source and release control. As a very long time CVS user it's taking a little getting used to.
It's underlying concepts are far more advanced than CVS and going back to CVS will hurt once I'm used to ClearCase.
Amusingly, ClearCase is just as syntactically confusing as CVS (what is it with source control software...) and has even LESS consistant command line arguments!
Once again, Emacs integration is sweet - once you install Kevin Eslar's excellent clearcase.el - which will save my noggin from those crazy commandline options.
I plan to extend clearcase.el with some labelling menu options (which we use as release tags) and fold them back into the release. More to come...
