Hmm... I have to say the APIs and command line tooling is not where Perforce shines ;) I found the APIs generally a disaster, and rapidly gave up on them. It was much easier to jus…

When you've got a lot of people, you've got a lot of changes - that's the long and the short of it. This is one thing the check in/check out model (as exemplified by Perforce, amon…
