[SOLVED] How to unshelve a shelved changelist to another branch prior to Perforce 2013?

How to unshelve a shelved changelist to another branch prior to Perforce 2013?

Using Perforce Server 2012.2/538478, how can I unshelve files from the trunk to another branch?

When trying to do it, I get:

//filename... (not mapped to your workspace view)

In Perforce 2013, I found this unshelve command to really be helpful:

p4 unshelve -s <changlist#-with-shelved-files> -S //depot/streamname

But with the version I'm using currently, I found nothing to help me with that issue.

Any suggestions?

Solution

Unfortunately, without upgrading to 2013.1 and getting the improved unshelve operation, you're going to need to manually copy the data by:

unshelving in trunk, noting the specific files that have changed
p4 edit the files in your other stream/branch
manually copy the unshelved files to the other stream/branch (you can't use p4 copy or p4 integrate for this because they aren't committed on the trunk
test and commit on the other branch
