Jim --

I would recommend release branching and keeping the protections tight on the depot directory tree that contains release branches instead of changing the policy of the codeline. Take a look at the best practices white paper on the Perforce web site.

I'm hoping someone can suggest a way I can achieve the following with Perforce without using jobs, if at all possible.

I want to mark a particular codeline as being in "code chill" so that only approved fixes are allowed to be submitted. More specifically, I want the submit to fail (hopefully with a useful error message) if the submitter doesn't include text in his change description that matches a particular regular expression, e.g. "CR #[0-9]+". I wouldn't expect the "code chill" to last more than a few days, so I would want to be able to easily toggle the restriction.

Any ideas?
