[p4] Travelling back and forth without destroying the depot

[Greg Whitfield]

You don't need the rm command, and you don't need the -f option on the
sync commands. Just p4 sync to the date (as you have).

The sync command takes care of removing files that were not in the depot
at the point of the sync.

Subject: [p4] Travelling back and forth without destroying the depot

Hi,

I have a depot with several directories. I want one of the directories
~/depot/foo/bar as it was at a given time (lets say I have a specific
date in mind). Then I want to go back to the most up-to-date version. I
thought I could do something like:

	rm -Rf ~/depot/foo/bar
	p4 sync -f //depot/foo/bar/...@<date>
	... <test something>
	p4 sync -f //depot/foo/bar/...


Any tips on the best way to work this out?

Cheers,

Paulo Matos
