Change default sync rev for '...' on a back-in-type sync.
Change the default revision used for a 'p4 sync' when a
back-in-time sync is done, i.e. a sync with a revision
specifier, thus selecting an older version of the
*.cbdsst file (which represents the state of the versioned
stream spec at the old revision).
Currently, when a back-in-time sync is done, the sync
uses the correct specified revisions when they are
specified explicitly in the older version of the *.cbdsst
file, e.g. a Paths: field containing:
import foo/... //foo/main/...@275
However, if no revision is explicilty specified, e.g.:
import foo/... //foo/main/...
the current behvaior is simply to pass the '...' along to
the server, resulting in the head revisions being
selected for a sync to files in //foo/main/...
With this job, the desired new behvaior is to make it
so the implicit default, when no revision is specified,
becomes the point specified changelist number.
So, if a user does:
p4 sync @500
and that results in syncing a //ace/main/ace.cbdsst@500,
and in that revision there is a Paths: field containing:
import foo/... //foo/main/...
then desired behavior is to translate that sync to the
equivalent of:
p4 sync //foo/main/...@500
== OPTIONAL ==
For visual optimization, the @500 could be replaced with
the latest changelist up to @500 that actually affected
files in the path //foo/main..., and so it might
actually get translated to something like:
p4 sync //foo/main/...@275
assuming @275 is the latest changelist up to @500 that
affected files in //foo/main/...
In all cases, 'p4 sync' behavior also applies to 'flush'
and 'update' commands (which is current behavior).
