Tom Willemse ccccdbe03e Fix the status where a file has changes
VC Expects the backend to report that the status is ‘needs-update’, not
‘needs-patch’. I don’t know if this has changed over the years, but this is what
it needs now.

vc-p4

This package provides VC integration with the Perforce version control system.

This package is quite old and was written for Emacs 23 I think. I'm trying to pull it into the next generation by making it work on Emacs 26.3 at the moment.

Road to v1

Before I can say that I can release version 1.0.0 of this project, I feel that these features need to be present (this list is subject to change):

  • Create new changelists.
  • Modify existing changelists.
  • Delete existing changelists.
  • Move files between changelists.
  • View changelist info in vc-dir.
  • View repository information in vc-dir. (Things like the Client name, current workspace, etc.)
  • Switch workspaces.

Some of these features may already be present and working and I just haven't discovered them yet, but until I feel confident that it can be done and is part of my workflow, I'm keeping it on the list.

Usage

Customization options:

vc-p4-client
The client to use to try to connect to Perforce. If you have multiple workspaces in Perforce you can set this as a directory-local variable to make sure you're connecting to the right Perforce workspace.
