	Maybe.  I use perforce at work, CLI only.  Merging is ``p4 integrate 
-b [branch name]'' followed by a resolve and a submit.  I did a reverse 
merge on Friday and a GUI might've helped me remember my branch name 
(it's generally in my .completions file), but I don't think it would've 
made the task any easier.

	Similarly, partial commits are done by having the submit prompt me for 
my checkin log with a list of files, much like CVS.  The difference is 
that I can edit that list, and things that are not in the list will not 
be checked in.

	I think that the tla way of doing this would be something like ``tla 
make-commit-list'' to limit the checkin.  Then the same GUI I edit my 
files with becomes my partial commit GUI (vim).
