Dunno, but I have 7000+ source files, and they're duplicated through 4-6 major [codeline] branches. In addition, since I checked in the histories from the SCCS system they came from, I have 33,000 changes recorded against the database. (They're checked in, one SCCS delta to a change. Boy, that was no fun.)

We are in the planning phase of setting up a full-blown evaluation of Perforce, which probably won't happen until next quarter, and I would really like to know how well it scales before dedicating the necessary resources.

We have over 45 source repositories, one of which has over 50,000 files in 35,000 directories. This repository already has 38 release threads (codelines, logical branches) and will add 10 to 15 new threads per year.

So I'm interested in performance data and war stories on Perforce operation as well as issues relating migrating to Perforce.
