Having used several professional CM systems including Clearcase,
I've come to the conclusion that CVS is preferable to most of them
It gets out of your way and lets you work.
CLearcase makes you spend too much time wondering about 
what machine is where and which machine the data base is
using  etc.

Disks are cheap these days.

As far as I'm concerned any company that goes for clearcase has it's
heart in the right place for  wanting CM but needs to think carefully
about what it's trying to do. Usually clearcase has been teh 2nd last step
before complete company chaos in my experience.

Not the cause, but a symptom.
