True, unless you're using the force sync option and wiping your workspace at the end of each build anyway. Maybe it could be a checkbox under the force sync option?
I have no idea how typical this workflow is, but ours relies on us wiping the workspace and force syncing each time. This is done because for a number of branches across a large pool of nodes, there isn't near enough storage space on each build slave to keep a sync'ed workspace on each (Dealing with a few hundred branches of 5-10GB workspace size in each, and a pool of a couple dozen nodes = 100s * (5-10)GB * ~ 24 = many terabytes of expensive SAN). Typical space/bandwidth tradeoff, with a local perforce proxy keeping the traffic across the WAN to a minimum. Additionally, it keeps builds from being contaminated by old artifacts.
Also this proposed enhancement would probably be useful for jobs that are run only rarely.
