even if identical. Creates a new version of a checked
out file even if you have not modified it. The version will be identical to
its predecessor. If you do not select this option, unmodified files are left
checked out.
Differences. Starts the Diff Merge
or XML Diff Merge tool to display the differences between the currently selected
file and its checked in predecessor.
Keep checked out. Checks in files
(which adds their modifications the VOB) and checks them out again.

Checking in from Visual J++, Visual C++, and Visual Studio .NET
About this task
To check in files from Visual J++, Visual C++, and Visual Studio
.NET:
Procedure
Select one or more files in Project Explorer or FileView.
(If you set up Visual Studio to present files, you can skip this step.)
In Visual Studio .NET, click File > Source Control > Check In.
Otherwise, click Project > Source
Control > Check In.
The Check In Files window opens, with the files you
chose in Step 1 selected. (If you set up Visual Studio to present files, the
window displays all files in the project that can be checked in. You may select
additional files from the list to check in.)
In the Comment field, append
comments to those you entered when you checked out the files. Comments are
displayed in the Properties Browser and the History Browser.
Use any of the following commands in the Check In
Files to ClearCase window:
Advanced > Query
for comment on each file. Prompts you to enter a
different comment for each file you check in.
Advanced > Checkin
even if identical. Creates a new version of a checked-out
file even if you have not modified it. The version will be identical to its
predecessor. If you do not select this option, unmodified files are left checked
out.
In Visual Studio .NET, always set this option.
Advanced > Preserve file modification time. This option preserves the platform modification time on the
file rather than having it set to the time that you checked in the file.
In Visual Studio .NET, you can get improved performance
if you set this option.
Differences. Starts Diff Merge or
XML Diff Merge to display the differences between the currently selected file
and its checked in predecessor.
Keep checked out. Checks in files
(which adds their modifications the VOB) and checks them out again.
Don't show any more checkin dialogs.
In Visual J++, this option prevents the Check In Item(s) window from opening
during future checkin operations. If you select this option, you cannot change
default Visual Studio behavior for a given checkin operation.
Click OK.
