I had come across the same issue.

Development projects frequently have developers working on more than 1 branch at
the same time.  For instance, they may be working on forthcoming development
work, in addition to fixing live support issues.

The current code will overwrite a users edit flag if they check out the source
code again.  There is a comment in update.c that suggests it would be better to
do this instead of by user, by work area; which makes more sense.

When I get a spare couple of days, I will code / implement this feature as it
will be very useful.

My attached patch adds a new ./configure option called --enable-keep-editing
which will preserve a users edit upon checkout.
