foo/bar question about RTC clearcase import

Suppose I have a scenario in CC in which a file was renamed and then a new version created, with the following baselines ("-" is the version delimiter):

baseline 1) directory src-1 containing file foo-1

baseline 2) directory src-2 containing file bar-1

baseline 3) directory src-2 containing file bar-2

Am I right in thinking that if I import all 3 baselines into RTC, the identity of the file foo/bar will be recognized, whereas if I import only 1 and 2 I will end up with distinct files in RTC?

The CC synchronizer uses the ClearCase element ID to determine identity
(not the pathname), so the identity of files is not affected by the
number or order of baselines that you import.

So foo-1, bar-1, and bar-2 will all be versions of the same Jazz
versionable, independent of what order you import those baselines.

Cheers,
Geoff

Exactly the way it should be!
