That's understood, it's just that we are slowly trying to really use
mercurial.

Yes, but filling in bugster is extra step, which not everyone must
follow. Admittedly, having people separate the putback into several
changesets is extra step too + people are not used to work on several
changesets at the same time (using mercurial queues, or other means).
It's just something we have to get used to.

This is probably question to our (RPE) process creators.

To me, it's a question of getting the list of changed, deleted and moved
files, and somehow move the changes to teamware workspace. Maybe someone
writes script :)
Thank you for your comments
