[p4] Selective "p4 sync" ?

[Shawn Hladky]

The obvious question, is can you just exclude it from your client view?  I'm
guessing, you don't want to do that, so here's a way to do it.  But this is
really only useful if you are regularly executing the sync on the same
folders.

You can use an automatic label to do this... which is a fairly new undoc-ed
feature.
Create a lable like this:

Label:    auto

Revision:  @now

View:
   //abc/xyz/...
   -//abc/xyz/kkk/...

Then you can sync using:
p4 sync @=auto

//abc/xyz/kkk/... will be left at #have, but the rest of //abc/xyz/... will
be #head.
