Perforce 中的 Overlay Mappings 设置

Perforce 中的 Overlay Mappings 设置

在 Perforce 可以把多个 depot 位置映射到同一个 workspace 的位置。这种做法称为： Overlay Mapping ，在 “ View work space mapping as text ”窗口中，在映射条目前加一个“ + ”号就可以了。

You could look at overlay mappings, and maybe work around your problem:

An overlay mapping is used to map files from more than one depot directory into the same place in the workspace.

//depot/dir1/... //cws/build/...
+//depot/dir2/... //cws/build/...

In Perforce, you can have a many-to-one mapping but you cannot have a one-to-many mapping. You cannot sync same file to 2 locations. you need to provide it explicit list of what you want to sync. Something like this:

//depot/adir/... //cws/build/AA/adir/...
+//depot/adir/exception.c //cws/build/BB/adir/exception.c

Using wildcards in workspace views

Wildcard	Description
*	匹配除斜线（目录分隔符）外的任意字符。 Matches anything except slashes. Matches only within a single directory. Case sensitivity depends on your platform.
…	Matches anything except slashes. Matches only within a single directory. Case sensitivity depends on your platform.
%%1 - %%9	Positional specifiers for substring rearrangement in filenames.

* 与 %%1 的区别在于，前者可以匹配目录，而后者不匹配目录。
