[p4] Efficiency of protect

Hi All,

I have two groups say

bangalore_users
newyork_users

I have the following protections:
read group bangalore_users * //depot/main/...
write group bangalore_users * //depot/main/jam/...
read group bangalore_users * -//depot/main/dev/...
wirte group newyork_users * //depot/main/...

But what if someone from newyork_users group branches
the files under //depot/main/dev/... to
//depot/main/jam/dev/...

Then bangalore_users get write access to files under
//depot/main/dev/... which they should not have
access.

I do understand that the above example can be stated
as a mischief but my point is that are the protections
that efficient w.r.t files/folders?

Also can we implement some triggers so that we
restrict branching paths by which files become visible
to restricted users?

Please suggest....


Regards,
Sushree.
