[JIRA] (JENKINS-15653) Filter changes by viewspec

[bgold...@synopsys.com (JIRA)]

Ben Golding commented on JENKINS-15653 Filter changes by viewspec Server side filtering would be more efficient in many real cases, such as an integrate to create a new branch, or an automated nightly integrate between branches (we do both): i.e. when you're only interested in a few files from a big changelist. It also means you don't have to implement your own client side filter algorithm which is just duplicating Perforce's own functionality, and a potential home where new bugs can nest I don't see an advantage to the client side filtering, except that you save a few seconds and some unnecessary traffic on older servers (we use 2011.1 where I could measure no real difference). From my side, either should be acceptable in practice - but client-side seems like more work for little payback. IMHO better to spend the time adding server version detection (so you can use fstat -T and many other new features) than worry about performance with older versions.
