That's a workaround, not a solution. Any VCS that requires an O(n) (n as
the number of files being labeled) labeling post-processing pass in order
to create enough records in the database to track commits atomically, when
there are O(1) solutions like git where commits are atomic _without any
additional effort), is just too slow to be worth anything in my opinion.
Besides, git is open source, clearcase is not. If git doesn't do what you
want, then you can patch it. If clearcase doesn't do what you want, too bad.
