[p4] Reverting files for another user?

[Matt Janulewicz]

As an admin you can log in as them without a password, but the important thing is your syntax:

NO: p4 -u someuser login
YES: p4 login someuser

With the latter it shouldn't prompt for a password and should create a ticket.

Then the revert is a little tricky, you have to specify everything on the commandline:

p4 -u <user> -c <client> -H <host> revert -k <file(s)>

Just to keep my tickets listing kind of short, I log out after I'm done, which goes back to the original syntax:

p4 -u someuser logout

This may not work on older servers, especially ones that were out prior to ticketed authentication, of course.

Even as a user with "super" permissions, I cannot seen to revert files

to delete the clientspec of the open file. Is there some trick I have
missed?
