[p4] Does this workflow seem odd to you?

[Ivey, William]

I've got a user who is complaining that every time they resolve
a file they have to resolve even differences they've already resolved.

Here's their workflow:

1. Open file for editing
2. Work on it
3. Sync someone else's changes to the same file
4. Do the resolve
5. Work some more on it
6. Repeat steps 3-5 a few times
7. Finally submit it

What the user complains about is that at step 7 it still needs
to be resolved even though it effectively has been resolved.
(That is, he could simply do an accept yours on it and be fine.)
This doesn't surprise me at all, but it upsets him.

Further, he's been using "merge" instead of "accept yours"
so sometimes the result is not at all what he expects. (This
seems a little strange, but I'm not totally shocked.)

Anyone else using a workflow like that? If so, any advice
or suggestions to keep this user happy?
