P4CONFIG with emacs
I would like to see examples of how to setup perforce, using the config file functionality where emacs is used as the diff and merge programs (P4DIFF and P4MERGE settings).

Looking for ideas on how to display data on Files and Changelists/Bugs associated with them.
Title says mainly the problem. On my spare time for our group at school, I've written something to parse our p4 submissions and the files associated with each changelist. I've then created a tree structure and each file has a list of all the changelists and ones that pertain to bugs associated with them. I'm looking for awesome ideas o...

How do I make sure that Perforce will do th...
git-p4 sync on different branch and repo
I'm trying to mirror a perforce repository, and git-p4 performs well enough on the main branch. I simply have to call git-p4 rebase. I'm also trying to mirror a different branch, but that's not working out so easily. I thought I could just do a git-p4 rebase --branch=p4/whatever //open/branches/whatever but rebase appears to ignore those...
P4 shelve of commited files
Is there any option to shelve files that have been once commited? I need to expose them for a codereview. I've tried to fetch old versions and shelve them to produce something like back-diff, however it doesn't work for me: although files in shelve are old one, diff in P4V thinks they're identical to new ones. ...

Where does Hudson store its last synchronized Perforce changelist number?
One of our Hudson build systems is not automatically starting its jobs since we switched it over to a different Perforce server.

How do I adjust the CL number t...

Migrating from git to Perforce
I have the task of migrating my team & source from git to Perforce, and I'm looking for ideas on how to move the git history into p4. I would be happy moving master branch only.
