==A CVS-like front end to P4==
=== Description ===
C4 was originally created to give p4 a CVS feel, by allowing
perforce clients to have writable files and have c4 locate
changed files in a way similar to CVS. This has been expanded
to correctly find arbitrary changes between the current top of
tree and the client so that whole trees can be imported. This
is routinely used to import updates to external source, including
updates that can remove/rename whole directories of files.
C4 provides a control file that is placed at the top of
each client to set environment variables, such as P4PORT and
P4CLIENT. For more information on what c4 does, read the c4
manual.
