[p4] Deleting all files in a depot

[David Weintraub]

Well, the easiest way is to shut down Perforce, and simply delete the
P4ROOT directory and start over. Of course, you'll lose the
permissions, clients, etc. too (which you might want).

The other way is to run the "p4 obliterate" command against the whole
depot. That will take longer, but you'll still have all the clients,
changelists, etc. from before.

I guess it depends how much of the system you really want to clean
out. It is also possible to dump the clients, permission table, and
other information you want to keep. Delete your P4ROOT, and then write
a script to rebuild your clients, and permission table.
