It is possible with snapshot views. My ClearCase know-how is limited, but I
am quite sure it is not possible with dynamic views.
Do you think the suggested enhancement for scm-local would be useful and
make sense? Not only in combination with ClearCase dynamic views but for
other usage as well, e.g. testing.
yes. Do you want to implement it?

That's true. Maybe we could enhance scm-local to keep its own metadata?
In
particular,
scm-local could maintain a simple file, say .maven-scm-local, that
contains
as plain text the list of files in the source directory, as seen during
the
last checkout or update operation:
- During checkout, the file .maven-scm-local is created in the checkout
base
directory. Its just a plain text file containing the list of files that
have
been checked out.
- The update command looks for the file. If it is there, it compares the
contents of that file to the current source directory contents (including
subdirs). All files that are in .maven-scm-local but are no longer in the
source dir, have been deleted in the source dir. The update command
therefore removes them from the checkout dir.
- If for whatever reason .maven-scm-local is not there, the update
command
won't delete any files. That way, we're backwards compatible.
- After completing the update process, the update command rewrites the
.maven-scm-local metadata file.
- Even the changelog command can interpret .maven-scm-local
- For add and checkin commands, I don't think that changes are needed.
What do you think?
