Here is what I did, to make it practical:
(defun clearcase-no-lock()
"Under ClearCase, in Cygwin, do not create lock symlinks.
Either format (old: Windows shortcuts; new: real symlinks with utf name) are
bad for different reasons.
The only way to prevent this is to set the purify_flag used by emacs while
dumping...
This function is intened as a find-file-hook."
(let ((fname (buffer-file-name)))
(if (file-accessible-directory-p (concat fname "@@"))
(set (make-local-variable 'purify_flag) t))))
(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'clearcase-no-lock)
Note that this would work only for 'elements' (i.e. not for
view private files) since their version tree opens as a
directory under the '@@' filename extension.
I guess it is a faster check than invoking cleartool...
