Yeah, I guess we give up the ability patch. Though we've never done that before. Guess that's something for management to decide.
We currently use the -gg option on one feature that would never be patched. Though, I guess, -ag would accomplish the same behavior since -gg generates new guids as well. Do you check-in the auto-generated component.wxs file? Or just check-in an empty sub file?
