Description

Starteam has the possibility to use promotion states. Now only view labels can be used by configuring the tag.
My proposal is to modify the handling of the tag slightly so that promotion states can also be used.
For example: when the tag is configured as "-pbeta" then the tag will not be handled as a view label, but as a promotion state. In this example the promotion state is "beta". The promotion state is simply indicated by the "-p" prefix in the tag. Configuring continuum with this tag is also easy, no changes are needed for continuum.
The modification involves small changes in the StarteamUpdateCommand and StarteamCheckOutCommand. I can provide a patch when needed.
