It would be nice if there were a feature that would allow you to tag the local 
copy (history) of your files in the Workspace with a version. This is very 
similar to tagging a version in CVS.

The difference is that there are many times when you would like to take a 
snapshot of your current workspace so that you can easily roll back to it.  
Examples of this are:
 1. You've got changes in your workspace, but you don't want to commit them to 
the CVS repository...however you need to take the latest copy from the server 
into your environment. In this scenario, someone trashed some code that causes 
your uncommitted changes to no longer work. In this case, it would be nice to 
be able to roll your entire workspace back to what it looked like prior to the 
update from CVS.
  2. You are working on some code that is in an invalid state so you don't want 
to commit it to CVS, however you are about to manually or automatically perform 
a refactoring that is going to have some far reaching changes.  You get done 
with those changes and you'd really like to get back to your previous 
state...no go though.

Basically, if you've ever used Visual Age for Java, your local Workspace had 
it's own versioning system...that's basically what I am suggesting.
