All I want is for BK to give me the latest versions of files that I 
haven't edited, and allow me to do a merge on the files that I have 
edited, without checking my files in.  Checking them in requires that I 
specify changelog comments, and I don't want to do that until I'm done 
with everything.

I can't imagine ever wanting to do that, but I guess I just don't "get" 
bitkeeper.
