Feature Request - Copy Versioned Files

From: Dave Miller <dwmiller_at_umich.edu>

I am developing an application that is sold in many custom configurations with
500 MB of non-versioned supporting files (images, a database, config files,
etc.) When I fix a bug, I'd like to test it in several configurations. I can
commit the fix and then update the other working copies of other configurations,
but this commit is premature since I haven't really tested it fully yet.

Would it be possible to have a feature that enabled one to move the source from
one working copy to another? Like a copy/paste versioned files? I realize this
runs counter to version control in general because I might be pasting over
modified code. But I'd be willing to risk it!

If this isn't a good idea, is there a good way to do this with existing
features? Should I just create a tag like "Bug450_Temp" in the repository for
holding an intermediate copy that I want to test?
