perforce

Visual Studio 2008, to be more specific. We're testing out moving to Perforce for source control, so I'd like to install the P4SCC plugin to monkey around with. However, I'd also like to continue using SourceSafe's IDE capabilities for projects that haven't been moved over yet. Can the two co-exist peacefully, or is it one or the other for a specific install of VS? Yes, Visual Studio supports multiple providers. The entire VS architecture is plugin based, and SCC providers are just another kind of plugin (usually implemented as a "package," in VS terminology). You can only have one SCC

I tried running git p4 submit on a repo that I've been running as an interim bridge between git and perforce. Multiple people are using the repo as a remote and its being periodically submitted back to perforce. It's been working mostly fine, except for some duplicated perforce commits whose bizarre behaviour I can't seem to reproduce. Then one day out of the blue I get this error. I can no longer push any git commits to perforce. user@hostname:~/Source/code$ git p4 submit -M --export-labels Perforce checkout for depot path //depot/perforce/workspace/ located at /home/user/Source/git-p4-area

When I do the following: $ git-p4 submit I wind up with the following error trace: error: patch failed: foo/bar/blah.h:1 error: foo/bar/blah.h: patch does not apply Unfortunately applying the change failed! What do you want to do? [s]kip this patch / [a]pply the patch forcibly and with .rej files / [w]rite the patch to a file (patch.txt) How can I recover from this situation and make a successful submission? FWIW, our P4 server is configured to use keyword expansion (filetype = text+k) and there is an expanded keyword at line 3 of the problem file. I made a change at line 1. I've tried

We were working on a design, and for that we created the skeleton of the classes in our main branch. Now, we are starting to code, and for that we got a new branch. So, it would be nice if I can move all the new files in the main branch into the new branch. However, I cannot check them in yet. So, is it possible to integrate the checked out changelist? Thanks. bk1e The Perforce support web site explains how to do this: Perforce Knowledge Base: Branching work in progress . It would be nicer if it was a single step that didn't require running eight different commands. Gareth Rees Since release

Is there any way to have the same file be a part of multiples changelists in perforce? With that I mean that from the set of changed lines in the file one subset will belong to a changelist, while the other subset will belong to a second changelist. Bonus question: If perforce does not support this, then which Source Control Systems, if any, do? Dennis To answer the bonus question: GIT allows for per-line changelists. For a comparison between the two view this question: GIT vs. Perforce- Two VCS will enter... one will leave. Another way to do this without branching is create additional
