Well, it is if you use p4v :-). Actually change() to me seems more like 
an 'exploring the repo' option than something you would want to use on a 
project*, or to argue the other way I feel like it should be in the same 
interface as the repo-path flavor of log(). (At one point I thought we 
were trying to keep things that took repo paths out of IBasicVC?)
