Doug, I assume you want to reset the file to be checked-out but no
longer locked.  (ie. you've done a bci already, then a bco, then
"never mind".)

For this you want to just UNLOCK and DO NOT OUTDATE!

Doug,

If you want to do a "forget the whole thing - I don't need to modify
<filename> at all", then you want to unlock as well as outdate; outdate
removes your private Doug_Frank_setname branch; you normally do this at
the end of a submit, but you can do it manually to completely undo your
work (it also rm's the file from your sandbox):

	bcs -o filename		/* careful with this one! */

Also, you can also outdate particular checkins; say you've done a couple of
bci's and want to roll back to the previous one.  If the last version is
say x.x.x.4, then you can do 

	bcs -o4 filename

-josh

Thanks!  I had done a bco and then wanted to do an "oh, forget it"
I did a bcs -u.
