Re: [p4] Is there a way to get the list of branches those were created in a time period?

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Sambwise'.

Note that there's a difference between the creation of a branch spec and the
creation of files in one of the corresponding namespaces -- usually when people
think of a "branch" they think of the branched files, not the spec
(many branches don't even have a corresponding branch spec, and sometimes a
branch will have multiple associated branch specs).  To figure out
which branches of the form //depot/BRANCHNAME were created in a given time I
think you could do:

p4 files //depot/...#<=1,@>=STARTDATE,@<=ENDDATE | cut -d '/'
-f 1-4 | uniq  
The fancy rev range is looking for #1 file revisions submitted in the given
range (this will mostly correspond to branch creation, although you might get a
few false positives from older branches that had files added later), and then
the cut/uniq stuff should whittle it down to a list of unique branch names.

For the branch specs, since there's no Creation field in the branch spec
your best option is a spec depot (but you need to have set one up ahead of
time):

p4 files //spec/branch/...@STARTDATE,ENDDATE
