Overview: In command-line CVS there is a "-f" option, used together 
with "update" command, which allows the developer to retrieve the most recent 
revision when no matching revision is found. This is quite usefull when one is 
working on a branch which contains only a few files, say 30% of the whole 
thing. 

Actual Results: Currently, when using Eclipse, one needs to select each file 
that she knows is at that branch (a quite boring procedure) and then ask for 
update, requesting the desired branch in the update dialog. 

Expected Results: If the Eclipse CVS update dialog had a checkbox 
like "Retrieve HEAD revision if no matching revision is found", one could just 
select the whole project and, in the update dialog, select desired branch and 
check this checkbox. This procedure would bring the branch files, and the Head 
files for those resources which does not have the specified branch.
