If I copy, modify, then submit a file in Perforce, will the copy still retain the original's history? -

suppose have file a.txt in perforce client workspace, exists on server //depot/a.txt. now, suppose want create re-create of a.txt, phone call b.txt, , create changes b.txt before commit server. might so:

p4 integrate a.txt b.txt p4 edit b.txt vim b.txt p4 submit

will perforce remember b.txt started out re-create of a.txt? example, if run p4 filelog b.txt, show //depot/b.txt branched //depot/a.txt ?

(actually, know answer, not easy figure out without trying completely, p4's characteristically confusing output. figure i'll inquire question can provide reply record.)

the answer, record, yes. remember utilize -i ("inherited history") flag on p4 filelog.

perforce
