[p4] How do I obliterate a whole directory tree?

[Paul Goffin]

'P4 speak' for "and all below" is

"..."

Hence:

"p4 obliterate dir\..." will do what you want.

I was trying to obliterate a directory.  The command "obliterate dir\*"
didn't work, nor did "obliterate dir\*\*", etc.  Turns out you have to
obliterate each branch of the directory that contains files with a
series of commands like "obliterate dir\*\*\*\*\*\*\*.*", followed by
"obliterate dir\*\*\*\*\*\*.*", followed by "obliterate
dir\*\*\*\*\*\*.*", etc. Basically go out to the furthest level of the
directory tree and obliterate, level by level, backwards, until all the
files are gone.

Surely I'm missing something.  How do I obliterate an entire directory
tree with one command? _______________________________________________
