Feature #308615, revision 4
  Title: Submit requests from "osc co"
   
  Buildservice: Unconfirmed
  Priority
      Requester: Important
   
  Requested by: Johannes Obermayr (jobermayr)
  Partner organization: openSUSE.org
   
Description:
  It should be possible that I can submit requests from projects/packages
  that I have checkout (not branch) and I do not have permissions for
  commit.
   
  Use Case:
  1) osc co KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop kdegames4
  2) change something
  3) "osc ci" or "osc sr" creates a submit request for projects/packages
  I do not have permissions
  4) Further workflow as it would be with "osc sr" through "osc branch"
   
   
  Business case (Partner benefit):
  openSUSE.org: You can easily update the checkout projects/packages via
- "osc co" and you do not have to branch them extra for submitting
+ "osc up" and you do not have to branch them extra for submitting
  requests...

  What keeps you from branching?

  I have a complete checkout from above project. I want to change 2 lines
  in one file and have to branch 70,122,511 bytes and download it again
  (currently related to above example)...
  If I read "osc help branch" right there is not a option similiar to
  "osc up" if other people changed something in linked source.
  The only thing I can see is "osc branch -c" but it is "Checkout
  branched package afterwards" and not "Update to latest source from
  linked project/package"
  So I have to branch it again if I want to use latest code from linked
  source -> Download again ~70 MiB...
