[p4] Moving a changelist across to a new branch?

[Peter Weldon]

This has worked for me in the past, YMMV:
p4 integrate -v //from_branch/...#have //new_branch/...
p4 sync -k //new_branch/...
copy from_branch/* new_branch/*
reconcile offline work in //new_branch/... (p4 diff -se
//new_branch/... | p4 -x - edit & ... etc. etc. or P4V workspace pane
"Tools > Reconcile Offline Work ..." menu or P4Win "File > More >
Check Consistency")
