To both of you, ci -l is your friend.

-l[rev]

      works like -r, except it performs an additional  co -l  for  the
      deposited revision.  Thus, the deposited revision is immediately
      checked out again and locked.  This is useful for saving a revi-
      sion  although  one  wants  to  continue  editing  it  after the
      checkin.

Saves a bit of typing. ;-)
