[p4] [Creating a new head revision with a single click]

[Stephen Vance]

You can write something for the Tools menu easily. You don't need to 
make the simple edit, either. Otherwise, that's the recipe, and it's 
easy to automate. It could take a little more if there are deletes in 
the intervening history. See Tech Note 14
