[JIRA] [perforce] (JENKINS-21722) Unwanted -s (safe sync) flag is being passed to p4 sync

[jis...@epocrates.com (JIRA)]

Jeff Ishaq edited a comment on JENKINS-21722 Unwanted -s (safe sync) flag is being passed to p4 sync I think those are the global options you are referring to. The p4 sync operation appears to override these with its own variant of the -s flag, which is defined as follows: The -s flag adds a safety check before sending content to the client workspace. This check uses MD5 digests to compare the content on the clients workspace against content that was last synced. If the file has been modified outside of Perforce's control then an error message is displayed and the file is not overwritten. This check adds some extra processing which will affect the performance of the operation. Clients with 'allwrite' and 'noclobber' set do this check by default. You can see this output if you type: p4 sync help Or, if you go to http://www.perforce.com/perforce/r12.1/manuals/cmdref/sync.html. I think in older versions of p4 command line client, this option didn't exist, and so I would presume it would utilize the global 'verbose' behavior you indicated in your comment. For example, v2010 docs don't show -s at all: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/r10.1/manuals/cmdref/sync.html. I am not sure from the ordering whether the "-s" flag is being passed to p4, or to p4 sync, in its usage above. The slowness of the sync implies it's going to p4 sync, however. (note that we are using "noallwrite" and "clobber" options, so the last bit about doing the check by default shouldn't apply here)
