When I merge, why do I sometimes get a change set named "Merges" and sometimes not?

When I accept incoming change sets and do a merge, I sometimes get a new outgoing change set whose default name is "Merges".  Other times I don't get the "Merges" change set, and it just incorporates the merge into an outgoing change set I already have. What causes this difference?

When you get the new outgoing change set, is the other outgoing change set completed (closed off from further check-in operations)?  That could be the reason.

The other outgoing change set is not completed, or closed off from further check-in operations.

That is likely the cause. If your change set is open, the changes must go in there since you can't have the same file modified in two open change sets at the same time in the same workspace.

 Hello Mark,
please refer to this article - https://jazz.net/library/article/1372

I think it might help here.

Reading that, and some more experiments may have shown me the answer.  If I have an outgoing change set that I created, it looks like it will incorporate my merge into it.  If all outgoing change sets were created by other users, I get the Merges change set.   


Is that correct?
