Value of using Git with ClearCase, AccuRev or Perforce? [closed]

Answer 1

There is value.

1. Use flexibility and convenience of cheap local branching to facilitate developer work flow in your local (machine) environment, use the centralized system for easy control of role based permissions and conglomeration of large numbers of files.

2. Developer task-based branching stays in the distributed system and keeps centralized history cleaner.

3. Centralized systems can be used to off load large binary assets from distributed systems.

There is cost.

1. Supporting/training for a hybrid environment.

2. Requires locating/maintaining a translation layer between systems.
