How do I move a Perforce “workspace” folder?

Question

I\'ve just downloaded a 4.5GB depot to a location on my hard drive that is not ideal.

I\'d like to move the folder that Perforce now sees as the \"workspace\" folder

Answer 1

As long as you know what changelist you last synced to, you can do this without having to sync again. Here's how:

1. Note the last changelist synced
2. Copy/move the folder to the new location
3. Update your workspace (either the root, or the depot mapping) to point at the new location
4. Run p4 flush //depot/path/to/folder/...@

The flush command tells the server that you have the files at the path specified, at the changelist specified. It's a synonym for p4 sync -k.
