			WHAT IT IS

This is a program/module for bringing a set of files under ClearCase
control by making the minimal set of required changes and running the
minimal set of cleartool operations. The real code is in the module,
but a wrapper script 'synctree' is provided for command-line access.
Full documentation for both is provided as inline POD format.

			PROVENANCE

ClearCase::SyncTree is a distant descendant of Paul Smith's 'citree'
program, which in turn is a distant relative of a sample shell script
of the same name provided with ClearCase. Though SyncTree bears no
resemblance to either one any more, I retain Paul's copyright since
mine did mutate from his.

			DIFFERENCES

Differences between synctree and citree include:

1. Synctree works on Windows as well as UNIX.
2. Synctree is capable of preserving CR's when checking in DO's.
3. Synctree has an exception-handler implementation which will
   undo all work upon encountering an error (it's a matter of
   opinion whether this is a feature).
4. The CLI is different, though the flag semantics map fairly well.

			PLATFORM NOTE

This package is believed to work on all ClearCase platforms including
Windows. Note, however, that while the _module_ has significant Windows
testing, the synctree wrapper script does not as I don't use it there.
It does appear to work just fine in limited Windows testing, though.
