[p4] Getting the size of a branch

[Ivey, William]

I've discovered that on an older repository with an upgraded
p4d not all files may report a filesize. I believe running p4
verify on the older parts will fix that. (Apparently, with the
newer server it won't fall back on the old method of 
calculating the size if it doesn't find that information ready
to use.)

I assume you mean size of files on disk (as opposed to number of files
in
branch)?!

P4 fstat has the following option:

             -Ol     output a fileSize and digest field for each
revision
                     (this may be expensive to compute) 

So process output of:

P4 fstat -Ol //depot/some/branch/...

C:\bruno_ws>p4 fstat -Ol //depot/jam/MAIN/... | grep fileSize | gawk "{s
+=
$3} END{print s;}"
475980

Note that the file size for text files is only accurate with Unix line
endings.
