Absolutely. When we were doing zones development (zones had its
tentacles all over the kernel) there were occasionally some very
complex merges with things like TCP/IP. In an average sync up there
would be 75-100 files with conflicts, and one or two which would be
a significant challenge.
Teamware let me hand over to the engineers with greater expertise than I
(I was keeping the gate) to ensure that we got the merge right.
IIRC, with teamware you can even take a child and do the merge there,
but I forget exactly the mechanics of that.
