Unfortunately, even though I've setup a BK repository in an attempt to make this task easier, BK doesn't do what I want. It seems that only if I can push to a public repository or can export my repository for others to pull from, will BK auto-matically figure out which change sets don't exist where and generate the correct stuff. Unfortunately my IT department will not allow me to export a BK server, so that is out of the question. Anyone care to tell me the magic incantation to get BK to generate a cumulative patch set against the parent repository? Or must I do a second clone and manually create patches? -- Justin
