Thanks for all of the replies regarding the rolling revisions--your input was helpful.

I realized that I could always revert unchanged files, but I was just curious if I could toggle a setting somewhere to not roll the revision on unchanged files... and I can so that's great. This whole situation arised from some of the guys here who check out a whole "folder" of files and only modify one or two before checking all of them back in.

Perforce (or any other SCM tool) cannot read your mind. If it's checked out for edit and then checked in, then it's checked in. Who knows whether you had some intention of checking in unmodified files? No SCM tool will second guess your commands.

I have a file in my client workspace, I open it for edit using p4 edit (as shown in my screenshot below by sig), I don't modify the file at all, and then I submit the file back to the depot. I don't want Perforce to roll the revision unless the file has changed. In the scenario below, I didn't touch the file between commands, yet the revision still increments by one. How can I stop this action? Your help is appreciated--thanks,
