Hi,

We have got ourselves into a bit of a mess with branching and I'm hoping someone can help us out.

We wished to branch some development files into a release area where some of the development files had already been branched. The mistake we made was to delete the files from the release area first and then integrate the branch using p4win which does this "two-way" branch (-s option to p4 integrate - why?). As a result we have accidentally ended up deleting some files from the development area.

Is there a simple/easy way of recovering from this situation (if I have explained it sufficiently well). I hope so! :-(. i.e. Can you back out of a submitted changelist?

TIA Roger
