[p4] Deleted branches affecting the Perforce performance

[Russell C. Jackson]

That doesn't solve the performance problem he is referring to here. 
Perforce still has that information in its db files, and still has to 
scan it in certain situations.

Perforce needs an archive command. I have been asking for one for 
several years now.

Thanks,
Rusty
