I work in a ClearCase shop and CC does a good job of integrating the team's work though our code review process prevents me from using it to track my daily changes. Creating an hg repository on top of my CC view works really well. I can track my changes and easily make backups on the file server, produce diffs for people etc.

This is all well and good until I move to a new CC view and have to leave my history behind. I would love to be able to ?pull? my previous history in and have everything that's different in the new view show up as the latest change set.

How do I look at checked out files from another view in my Clearcase config spec

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I wonder how I look at a checked out file from another view. We are using dynamic views and I can see other views checked out files using clearcase version tree so I think it should be possible to specify in a config spec.
