how lane third-party sources clearcase but headache?

first all: i am an means clearcase user, nonetheless i have lots trust vcs *nix command-line tools. clearcase, i command-line apparatus ("cleartool") operative unix shell.

problem: i have little set sources stored clearcase. once while uninformed .tgz same sources comes i have transform sources repository (process altered jubilee clearcase).

now i following:

1. extract tgz into, say, "~/new_src"


2. "ct setview ..." cd place where sources (say, "/vobs/src")


3. i review sources "diff -naurb . ~/new_src", inspect diff's cost and:
   
   
   
   
   1. copy new files /vobs/src "cleartool mkelem" them
   
   
   2. checkout altered files, duplicate new sources over dedicate them
   
   
   3. do "cleartool mkdir" new dirs stock them
   
   

this slight solemnly pulling me crazy given roughly any chronicle control component i only checkout sources, duplicate new sources over, inspect diffs, supplement new files following dedicate whole lot. or, improved yet, tags/branches, nonetheless unequivocally indispensable box - i need have an present chronicle sources repo, that's all.

i attempted checkout all (using "cleartool co -nc find ."), duplicate new sources over, dedicate altered files/add new files afterward. nonetheless requires parsing "cleartool ls" cost even messier.

i skip something obvious, nonetheless several forays google tell me i'm not. however, i'd hear clearcase powerusers - there any wish clueless me not? :)
