Perforce tip: How to apply my default change to the release Branch

Create the patch,

P4 diff-du-DB main-branch/...> ~ /Mywork. Patch

Go to the work directory of release branch.

CD Dir-release-branch/

'P4 edit' the files I want to patch under release branch. Please note,

• 'Lsdiff' is from the package 'pattern '.
• 'Nosl 'will strip the slashes. It's written by me.

Cat ~ /Mywork. Patch | lsdiff | nosl 5 | P4-X-Edit

Patch the files and done!

Patch-P5 <~ /Mywork. Patch

Here is the source code of nosl. I put it in my. bashrc

Function nosl () {if [-z "$1"]; then Echo "Usage: echo/Hello/World | nosl num "Echo" Strip num leading slashes "else Perl-pe"/$ n = $1; while (/$ n> 0) {/$ _ = ~ S/[^/] * // + //;/$ n --;} "fi}

BTW, you cocould save all the trouble of perforce
By switching to git
