Tracking duplicated changes

You can view which branches contain changes associated with changelists, issues, labels, or selected files to track where the changes were duplicated. For example, you may want to make sure all the changes you made to the labeled files in your workspace branch are duplicated to the mainline branch. Files that include changes list the version number where the change is included.

Only file changes promoted, rebased, or duplicated in Surround SCM 2011 or later can be tracked.
