On this subject, one script/process I'd like to have is something to cut out intermediate branches.
We have a number of instances in our depot of codelines/files being branched to an incorrect part - and then the developer didn't follow procedure and rebranch from the original path but corrected their mistake by a branch/delete from the incorrect path.
Plainly this isn't a "critical" issue - but it does "clutter up" a codeline. Some of our codelines are quite "untidy" and difficult to mine as a result (some developers make a habit of this. They can do quite a bit of damage before its noticed.)
Anyone else looked into this?
Paul.

We did this in order to make the depot follow naming guidelines. Therefore, the rules for renaming were quite simple (replace whitespace with '_', replace german Umlauts with digraphs aso.).
This was done with a C++ program on Win32 just because of commodity.
Could you specify exactly _how_ you want to rename your files because parsing the checkpoint isn't exactly rocket science.

Greetings all,
I am looking for an exact script to do "repository surgery" renaming of files, deliberately circumventing the p4 integrate command. This is a one-time surgical operation involving a massive depot import and reorganization so there will be no need to re-sync to the past.
Has anyone written a perl script or any utility to do "surgical" directory renaming through the checkpoint recovery method? I've seen some discussion in the archives but I can't find an exact script and recipe to make the renaming in this way as simple as possible.
Thanks, and please send replies to my direct address and optionally to the list.
