I've experienced situations in which the client would think the version I had
was current, but the version on the file system really didn't reflect that on
the server. My only recourse was to remove the file from the file system, then
do a "p4 sync -f" on the file. Two other colleagues have given similar tales. Have you heard of any
other occurrences of this?

Unfortunately, I didn't record ample command lines and output for hard evidence.
Hopefully, the next time this happens, I'll have something (it's occurred about
once every six months).

My users have reported this as well. Since I administer but no use perforce, I have only anecdotal evidence. We do not user AFS.
