;;{{{ Introduction

;; This is a ClearCase/Emacs integration.
;;
;;
;; How to use
;; ==========
;;
;;   0. Make sure you're using Gnu Emacs-20.4 or later or a recent XEmacs.
;;      In general it seems to work better in Gnu Emacs than in XEmacs,
;;      although many XEmacs users have no problems at all with it.
;;
;;   1. Make sure that you DON'T load old versions of vc-hooks.el which contain
;;      incompatible versions of the tq package (functions tq-enqueue and
;;      friends). In particular, Bill Sommerfeld's VC/CC integration has this
;;      problem.
;;
;;   2. Copy the files (or at least the clearcase.elc file) to a directory
;;      on your emacs-load-path.
;;
;;   3. Insert this in your emacs startup file:  (load "clearcase")
;;
;; When you begin editing in any view-context, a ClearCase menu will appear
;; and ClearCase Minor Mode will be activated for you.
;;
;; Summary of features
;; ===================
;;
;;   Keybindings compatible with Emacs' VC (where it makes sense)
;;   Richer interface than VC
;;   Works on NT and Unix
;;   Context sensitive menu (Emacs knows the ClearCase-status of files)
;;   Snapshot view support: update, version comparisons
;;   Can use Emacs Ediff for version comparison display
;;   Dired Mode:
;;     - en masse checkin/out etc
;;     - enhanced display
;;     - browse version tree
;;   Completion of viewnames, version strings
;;   Auto starting of views referenced as /view/TAG/.. (or \\view\TAG\...)
;;   Emacs for editing comments, config specs
;;   Standard ClearCase GUI tools launchable from Emacs menu
;;     - version tree browser
;;     - project browser
;;     - UCM deliver
;;     - UCM rebase
;;   Operations directly available from Emacs menu/keymap:
;;     create-activity
;;     set-activity
;;     mkelem,
;;     checkout
;;     checkin,
;;     unco,
;;     describe
;;     list history
;;     edit config spec
;;     mkbrtype
;;     snapshot view update: file, directory, view
;;     version comparisons using ediff, diff or GUI
;;     find checkouts
;;     annotate version
;;     et al.

These bindings are added to the global keymap when you enter this mode:

\\[clearcase-next-action-current-buffer]  perform next logical version-control operation on current file
\\[clearcase-mkelem-current-buffer]       mkelem the current file
\\[clearcase-toggle-read-only]            like next-action, but won't create elements
\\[clearcase-list-history-current-buffer] display change history of current file
\\[clearcase-uncheckout-current-buffer]   cancel checkout in buffer
\\[clearcase-diff-pred-current-buffer]    show diffs between file versions
\\[clearcase-version-other-window]        visit old version in another window

While you are entering a comment for a version, the following
additional bindings will be in effect.

\\[clearcase-comment-finish]           proceed with check in, ending comment

Whenever you do a checkin, your comment is added to a ring of
saved comments.  These can be recalled as follows:

\\[clearcase-comment-next]             replace region with next message in comment ring
\\[clearcase-comment-previous]         replace region with previous message in comment ring
\\[clearcase-comment-search-reverse]   search backward for regexp in the comment ring
\\[clearcase-comment-search-forward]   search backward for regexp in the comment ring

Entry to the clearcase-comment-mode calls the value of text-mode-hook, then
the value of clearcase-comment-mode-hook.

Global user options:
 clearcase-initial-mkelem-comment      If non-nil, require user to enter a change
                                   comment upon first checkin of the file.

 clearcase-suppress-confirm     Suppresses some confirmation prompts,
                            notably for reversions.

 clearcase-command-messages     If non-nil, display run messages from the
                            actual version-control utilities (this is
                            intended primarily for people hacking clearcase.el

;;{{{ The cleartool sub-process

;; We use pipes rather than pty's for two reasons:
;;
;;   1. NT only has pipes
;;   2. On Solaris there appeared to be a problem in the pty handling part
;;      of Emacs, which resulted in Emacs/tq seeing too many cleartool prompt
;;      strings. This would occasionally occur and prevent the tq-managed
;;      interactions with the cleartool sub-process from working correctly.
;;
;; Now we use pipes. Cleartool detects the "non-tty" nature of the output
;; device and doesn't send a prompt. We manufacture an end-of-transaction
;; marker by sending a "pwd -h" after each cleartool sub-command and then use
;; the expected output of "Usage: pwd\n" as our end-of-txn pattern for tq.
;;
;; Even using pipes, the semi-permanent outboard-process using tq doesn't work
;; well on NT. There appear to be bugs in accept-process-output such that:
;;   0. there apparently were hairy race conditions, which a sprinkling
;;      of (accept-process-output nil 1) seemed to avoid somewhat.
;;   1. it never seems to timeout if you name a process as arg1.
;;   2. it always seems to wait for TIMEOUT, even if there is output ready.
;; The result seemed to be less responsive tha just calling a fresh cleartool
;; process for each invocation of clearcase-ct-blocking-call
;;
;; It still seems worthwhile to make it work on NT, as clearcase-ct-blocking-call
;; typically takes about 0.5 secs on NT versus 0.05 sec on Solaris,
;; an order of magnitude difference.

;;{{{ File name handler for version extended file names

;; For version extended pathnames there are two possible answers
;; for each of
;;   file-name-directory
;;   file-name-nondirectory
;;
;; 1. that pertaining to the element path, e.g.
;;   (file-name-directory "DIR/FILE@@/BRANCH/VERSION")
;;     ==> "DIR/"
;; 2. that pertaining to the version path, e.g.
;;   (file-name-directory "DIR/FILE@@/BRANCH/VERSION")
;;     ==> "DIR/FILE@@/BRANCH/"
;;
;; Often we'd like the former, but sometimes we'd like the latter, for example
;; inside clearcase-browse-vtree, where it calls dired.  Within dired on Gnu
;; Emacs, it calls file-name-directory on the supplied pathname and in this
;; case we want the version (i.e. branch) path to be used.
;;
;; How to get the behaviour we want ?

;; APPROACH A:
;; ==========
;;
;; Define a variable clearcase-treat-branches-as-dirs, which modifies
;; the behaviour of clearcase-vxpath-file-name-handler to give answer (1).
;;
;; Just before we invoke dired inside clearcase-browse-vtree, dynamically
;; bind clearcase-treat-branches-as-dirs to t. Also in the resulting Dired Mode
;; buffer, make clearcase-treat-branches-as-dirs buffer-local and set it.
;;
;; Unfortunately this doesn't quite give us what we want. For example I often
;; invoke grep from a dired buffer on a branch-qua-directory to scan all the
;; version on that branch for a certain string.  The grep-mode buffer has no
;; buffer-local binding for clearcase-treat-branches-as-dirs so the grep
;; command runs in "DIR/" instead of in "DIR/FILE@@/BRANCH/".
;;
;; APPROACH B:
;; ==========
;;
;; Modify the semantics of clearcase-vxpath-file-name-handler so that
;; if the filename given is a pathname to an existing branch-qua-directory
;; give answer 2, otherwise give answer 1.
;;
;; APPROACH C:
;; ==========
;;
;; Use the existence of a Dired Mode buffer on "DIR/FILE@@/BRANCH/" to
;; change the semantics of clearcase-vxpath-file-name-handler.
;;
;; (A) is unsatisfactory and I'm not entirely happy with (B) nor (C) so for now
;; I'm going to disable this filename handler until I'm more convinced it is
;; needed.
