Is there anyway to reject a change set?
2 answers
There is no reject change set action. What do you think 'rejecting' a
change set should do if there were one (what is your work flow that would
want this behaviour?)
The pending changes view shows you the set difference of the change sets
contained in the target stream and in your repository workspace.
If by 'rejecting' you just want to hide the incoming change set then it
poses the problem of not showing you what is really going on. You could
unknowingly be sending yourself down a complicated fork which would then
require a merge, or later you might be confused by why you cant accept
certain things ('caused by a gap of a changeset that you previously
'rejected').
You can use the pending changes view 'Zoom' mode to show only outgoing
change sets if you prefer to work that way.

Thanks.

There are two workflows we support, you can (1) reverse a change set, or
(2) replace the stream with the change sets you have.
Option 1 is the best, as it incrementally adds to change histories and
is also what most users are used to doing with other SCM systems where
you can't really change the past, it's done, you can only move forward.
With option 2, you are essentially discarding a bunch of change sets
from a stream, and many of your team members may already have them. So
they have to sync up with you.
I prefer option 1 for small changes, and option 2 when you really want
to backup the entire team to some interesting point in the past.
