I had to use an Attache (a Windows client front-end to ClearCase) with the
document repository on an UNIX server, and it was a pig.

Attache would insist that a file was checked in but another worker on
Windows/UNIX would see it as checked out to you.  Lots of admin overhead.

Any version control system that has a reference manual (note, not
PROCEDURAL) three and a half inches thick is over-engineered.
