[p4] Can I move my open files from one branch to another prior to submit?

I have a situation where a set of files I have open for edit can't be
submitted to the branch they were intended for. Sometimes things don't
happen like they were supopsed to :-(. Anyhow, they are sitting on my
disk.  Whats the chance p4 has a way to move them over to another
branch, until they can be integrated?

I know I can do this with p4 diff, and then feed the diffs (after a
little post processing) to patch (which doesn't support p4 diff formats,
but does know to p4 edit files before patching, yay).

Still, I'm looking for something more like I would do with cvs (create
the other branch, do a "cvs up -r other" in my workspace to move it to
over, then a "cvs ci").

Thanks,
Sam
