I disagree with the very last statement. If you're working at the same 
project in different branches you might want to debug different parts. 
And if you have a project/session file per branch then it even matches 
with "debug sessions".

That's what I said in the other mail. I think "debug sessions" is 
overengineering it, adding complexity for little value.

Bes regards.
