I have synched an instance of my company's entire source code tree many times using Perforce.  I don't know offhand how many thousands of files that is, but it surprises me to hear that you aren't able to synch an arbitrarily large number of files in one pass.  Not that I'm any great fan of Perforce, just surprised that it isn't minimally functional for you.  Does the synch proceed really slowly?  What kind of network connection do you have to your Perforce server?

Hi all, 

I post the message to talk about perforce
in order to get more knowledge on it. 

Start to use perfore because of new
project. The big issue I met is that perforce can not get the latest source
codes from server completely by one time. 
In other words, it can not work well.
Then you have to find out which modules are not synced from the server
and do it again. 

I think it is really bad thing ! Maybe
I use wrong configuration ?   

Besides, it is not free.  

I think I point out two weakness.  

How about you , who had experienced
perforce. 

Thanks. 

Best Regards,
Forrest
