Description Michael Valenta

When a file is "sticky" (i.e. loaded using "Get Contents" from Compare Revision)
if is decorated with the revision and the tag (both of which are the file 
revision number, for example "filename 1.17 1.17 (ASCII -kkv)). A more explicit 
sticky decorator would be benefitial. This could potentially be applied to 
version tags as well (although I seem to recall that it is not possible to 
differentiate branch tags from version tags in some cases).

I'd vote for this.  I somehow managed to make a version of one file in my
workspace sticky (dont ask me how... I dont remember being prompted) at some
point over a week ago.  I've been getting test failures in the UI suites but no
one else has and it's been vexing me.  I'd replace with latest from HEAD on my
projects but still they would remain.  Only today I noticed (entirely by
accident) that one of the files was not getting updated because it was sticky. 
Decorating the file or providing a list of sticky files would be very useful. 
Warning the user that the folder they're updating (with latest from BLAH)
contains sticky revisions would be even better.

There is currently no plan to address this item.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
