  9. What is this "filelog" output telling me?
  10. </b>
  11. <blockquote>
  12. If you do a 'p4 filelog' 
  13. on a file, you get the complete record of which deltas were merged into
  14. that file, and from which depot path & file they originated.
  15. Here's an example of what 'p4 filelog' reports for a file that has
  16. some renaming & branching history:
  17. <pre>
  18. 	% p4 filelog //depot/main/jam/filescan.c
  19. 	//depot/main/jam/filescan.c
  20. 	... #2 change 5052 integrate on 1998/04/13 by laura@testclient 
  21. 		'Merge r1->main. '
  22. 	... ... merge from //depot/r1/jam/scan.c#1,#3
  23. 	... #1 change 5049 branch on 1998/04/13 by laura@testclient 
  24. 		'Rename scan.c->filescan.c. '
  25. 	... ... branch from //depot/main/jam/scan.c#1,#19
  26. 	... ... merge into //depot/r1/jam/scan.c#3
  27. 	% 
  28. </pre>
  29. In English, here's what this tells us about //depot/main/jam/filescan.c:
  30. <ul>
  31. <p><li>
  32.       the head revision of //depot/main/jam/filescan.c is #2
  33.  
  34. <p><li>
  35.       the action that created #2 was a merge from rev #3
  36.       of //depot/r1/jam/scan.c. So the integration mapping at this
  37.       point in its history is:
  38. <pre>
  39. 	//depot/r1/jam/scan.c //depot/main/jam/filescan.c
  40. </pre>
  41. <p><li>
  42.       the action that created #1 was a branch from //depot/main/jam/scan.c#19.
  43.       I.e., scan.c was renamed filescan.c at this point.
  44. </ul>
  45. <p>
  46. The history of //depot/r1/jam/scan.c is also relevant here. A filelog
  47. on it produces:
  48. <pre>
  49. 	% p4 filelog //depot/r1/jam/scan.c
  50. 	//depot/r1/jam/scan.c
  51. 	... #3 change 5051 integrate on 1998/04/13 by laura@testclient 
  52. 		'Merge main->r1. '
  53. 	... ... merge from //depot/main/jam/filescan.c#1
  54. 	... ... merge into //depot/main/jam/filescan.c#2
  55. 	... #2 change 5050 edit on 1998/04/13 by laura@testclient 
  56. 		'Fix dirname case change. '
  57. 	... #1 change 5047 branch on 1998/04/13 by laura@testclient 
  58. 		'Branch main into r1. '
  59. 	... ... branch from //depot/main/jam/scan.c#1,#18
  60. 	% 
  61. </pre>
  62. So we see it was originally branched from //depot/main/jam/scan.c, but as of
  63. rev #3 it is now related to //depot/main/jam/filescan.c.
