Hello,

I'm looking for single-mouse-click solution to make one revision of a file 
the new head revision.

My current method is a bit cumbersome.  For example if I have a file that 
has 10 revisions, and I want to make revision 4, the new head (essentially 
becoming revision #11) I do the following:
                Check out revision 4
                Make a simple edit to rev 4 (usually add whitespace)
                Get latest revision from depot (this sets up a conflict)
                Resolve the conflict, making my file the new head
                Submit the change

What would be nice, is a right-click menu option titled something like 
"Make new Head Revision" that performs the above operations.

Is there a plugin that does this? Or does anyone know how to automate 
these steps?


Thanks for any tips

-Mark
