StarTeam has got to be the horrendous version control system I have ever encountered in a company. StarTeam has this notion of file sharing between what they refer to as views. Basically a view in StarTeam can be thought of as a repository for purposes of conversion and it can share individual files from other views. It can then branch the files as well. Imagine, just imagine the mess of many many views stringing files amongst each other. It's like a version control system designed by my four year old with a few balls of yarn strung all over the house. Hideous, I know.

I have avoided using StarTeam myself but others within the company are looking for strategies of moving to GIT or possibly Mercurial. My crew uses Mercurial and started using GIT but we do embedded Linux for the most part.

Are there ways to migrate views in StarTeam to a DVCS like GIT? Anyone have experience with this?
