I have of late taken to saving the have list when building a client for our nightly build. The thought was that after saving the client definition in a file, and the have list, it would be easy to archive the build tree and later restore it and the client state. (assuming the client was deleted in the intervening period)

This is all fine, but the restore process would also make it re-get all the files as specified in the have list. (this would make an incremental build impossible or difficult)

I realized recently that this could be "fixed" by feeding the have list to p4 flush instead of p4 sync.

Anybody see any problems with this?
