       7.3 Checkin
    
       It sure would be helpful if there was some way to indicate that the 
    newly
       checked in revision should NOT become the default revision.  Maybe part 
    of
       the check-in policy?

    What use case would motivate this?
    
    Those of us who operate under the model of distinct 'create a revision' & 
    'release' steps.
    As it stands, I cannot create a new revision without it becoming a target 
    of the workspace.
    If I had the opportunity to do auto-version (i.e. atomic 
    checkout-put-checkin) and the opportunity to NOT 'release' then I could 
    create entries in the revision history without affecting the view of the 
    world as seen by friends in my workspace.
