What is a bleed-thru file in ClearCase?

I was doing a checkout of a file in ClearCase, and I was unable to checkout this file from the frozen view because of this file which was a bleed-thru file. I thawed the view, and then I was able to check out the file, so I really开发者_运维知识库 do not have a problem at this time.

I do have a question, though. What is a bleed-thru file in ClearCase? Any ideas? I have not heard this term before, and was interested, partly because it just sounds so cool!

Not sure what you call a "frozen view", except if you are referring to a snapshot view.
A "bleed-through" file (again, I am not familiar with the 'bleed-thru' spelling) could be related to multi-site views, where:

This navigator is called a "bleed through" view because it lists both local files/members and remote objects, files and members.
However, if a file or member exists both locally and remotely, it is not shown twice.
Rather, it is only shown once, and its icon and bracketed text identify it as existing in both places.

If you have any screen captures of that term used in ClearCase, I am interested;)
