=== About This Project ===
ProxyFill is a simple Python script for propagating a Perforce Proxy Server's cache. The script propagates the cache by syncing through each changelist recursively.

=== Usage ===
To use the script, just edit to values in the settings section and then run it.

A couple of notes:
* The user specified must have a client spec view which maps all of the desired paths/depots and must have at least have "read" permissions for all of the view.
* If the target Perforce Server has remote depots, they will also be synced (unless removed from the client view); however, if there are more changeslists in the remote depots than on the target Perforce Server, the extra changelists will not be synced.

=== Possible Enhancements ===
* Configurable restricted views
* Some way of remembering which changelist was last synced. This would allow ProxyFill to be used as a cron job, bringing the Perforce Proxy Server's cache up-to-date on a nightly basis.
