[p4] is there way to cause "p4 edit" to automatically sync to head first?

[David Faison]

A user just asked me if there was a way to cause Perforce to force a
sync-to-head before checking a file out. 

They do most of their work inside of Eclipse, which automatically checks
files out for them as soon as they start to edit them, but this makes it
easy for them to unwittingly edit a non-tip revision of the file.
