### 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.
