[cciug] Branch for NT development

Hi All,

We are in the early stages of ClearCase and don't really use branches until
now.

One of the development groups wants to create a branch for doing NT
development work only and then merge it back in a few weeks (another story).
The development group each use their own views.

What is the best way to manage this branch?. All I have come up with so far
is,
1. Declare a branch type 'nt_development'
2. Do a Cleartool mkbranch nt_development.

These raise a few questions,
Can I branch the whole project or can I only do one file at a time?
If I get the developers to setup the views with these rules:
element * CHECKEDOUT
element * /main/nt_development/LATEST
element * /MAIN/1 -mkbranch nt_development
that will branch each file version onto this branch, but will I have to
merge the files back in 1 by 1?

What is the best/smoothest way to get through this?

All ideas are very very welcome.

Regards,

        John.
