Arthur I disagree with you. Change set grouping is one of the benefits. Others are, for example code isolation & promotion, ability to select the what CRs you want to integrate, without depending on a developer's working copy, ability for the developers to have save points for the CR being developed, among several others... I'm sure that -B/-b options don't give you all the benefits you get with a CR branch. Regards Daniel
