Rebase before delivery
This policy (Require development stream to be based on the project's recommended baseline(s) prior to delivery) requires developers to rebase their source streams to the target stream current recommended baselines before they deliver work to the target stream. The policy can be set per project or per stream, for interproject and intraproject deliver operations.
The goal of this policy is to have developers build and test their work in their development work areas against the work included in the most recent stable baselines before they deliver to the target stream. This practice minimizes the amount of merging that developers must do when they perform deliver operations.
