Although all of the information necessary is present in the perforce metadata, sequencing it properly for replay would be computationally intensive. There is no way to create the branching metadata apart from replaying a transaction sequence, either. Ideally, to support revml and vcp to its potential, there should be a way to insert a version history and the associated merge metadata without replaying the full transactions. Especially with the new ability to obliterate version ranges, it's possible to affect historical metadata in ways that vcp could not divine.
I though VCP could look at the branch and tell from whence it came:
barries@//jester/tmp$ p4 filelog b/f
//depot/b/f ... #2 change 5 edit on 2001/08/04 by barries@jester (text)
'branch rev 2 '
... #1 change 4 branch on 2001/08/04 by barries@jester (text) 'Create branch
'
... ... branch from //depot/f#1,#3
by looking at the "#3" on the last line and seeing what rev it branched from. What am I not knowing?
In CVS, the branch number indicates the branch point, which makes cvs->p4 with branching a possibility.
But it sounds like I'm better off focusing on the NT port with Sean.
