# Perforce Workshop Jobs
#
#  Job:           The job name. 'new' generates a sequenced job number.
#
#  Status:        Job status; required field.  There is no enforced or
#                 promoted workflow for transition of jobs from one
#                 status to another, just a set of job status values
#                 for users to apply as they see fit.  Possible values:
#
#                 open - Issue is available to be worked on.
#
#                 inprogress - Active development is in progress.
#
#                 blocked - Issue cannot be implemented for some reason.
#
#                 fixed - Fixed, optional status to use before closed.
#                 
#                 closed - Issue has been dealt with definitively.
#
#                 punted - Decision made not to address the issue,
#                    possibly not ever.
#
#                 suspended - Decision made not to address the issue
#                    in the immediate future, but noting that it may
#                    have some merit and may be revisited later.
#
#                 duplicate - Duplicate of another issue that.
#
#                 obsolete - The need behind the request has become
#                    overcome by events.
#
#  Project:       The project this job is for. Required.
#
#  Severity:      [A/B/C] (A is highest)  Required.
#
#  ReportedBy     The user who created the job. Can be changed.
#
#  ReportedDate:  The date the job was created.  Automatic.
#
#  ModifiedBy:    The user who last modified this job. Automatic.
#
#  ModifiedDate:  The date this job was last modified. Automatic.
#
#  OwnedBy:       The owner, responsible for doing the job. Optional.

#                 obsolete or duplicate jobs.  May also provide
#                 additional information such as the earliest release
#                 in which a bug is known to exist.
#
# Component:      Projects may use this optional field to indicate
#                 which component of the project a givenjob is associated
#                 with.
#
#                 For the SDP, the list of components is defined in:
#                 //guest/perforce_software/sdp/tools/components.txt

Description:
	Perforce labels spanning branches
	
	I'm using Convert mode and converting labels and branches. As it stands, the labels are applied to various branch versions. For example:
	
	$ p4 -p 1666 files @IPX_C19
	//depot/icm/proj/USB30phy/BCG_28NM/rtl/rtl/files.f#5 - integrate change 247907 (ltext)
	//depot/icm/proj/USB30phy/BCG_28NM/rtl/rtl/usb30_core2dfe.sv#7 - integrate change 247935 (text+Fx)
	//depot/icm/proj/USB30phy/BCG_28NM/rtl/rtl/usb30_dfe.sv#8 - integrate change 247982 (text+Fx)
	...
	//depot/icm/proj/USB30phy/BCM63381_A0/rtl/rtl/usb30_phy.sv#8 - integrate change 247971 (text+Fx)
	//depot/icm/proj/USB30phy/BCM63381_A0/rtl/rtl/usb30_rxpmd_clk_gen.sv#2 - integrate change 247858 (ltext)
	//depot/icm/proj/USB30phy/BCM63381_A0/rtl/rtl/usb30_txpmd_clk_gen.sv#2 - integrate change 247859 (ltext)
	...
	//depot/icm/proj/USB30phy/main/rtl/rtl/usb30_mdio_creg.sv#1 - import change 247738 (ltext)
	//depot/icm/proj/USB30phy/main/rtl/rtl/usb30_mdio_csreg_5.v#2 - integrate change 247439 (text+Fx)
	//depot/icm/proj/USB30phy/main/rtl/rtl/usb30_mdio_csreg_8.v#2 - integrate change 247439 (text+Fx)
	
	All these files reside in the same directory in the tree - only differing because of the branch directory. Since these labels are applied on different branches, I cannot 'sync' to a label and pick up the entire fileset in one place.
	
	In CVS I would be able to run 'cvs get -r <label> <module>' and end up with all files tagged with that particular label - no matter the branch.
	
	During conversion, would it make more sense to apply the label to all the files on a particular branch so they're all visible?
