When trying to unshelve shelved files between branches, I get "No target
file(s) in both client and branch view.".

This is the command.....
% alias p416
/tool/s/packages/perforce-2016.1/bin/p4
% p416 unshelve -s 870973 -b soc_tb_main -n
No target file(s) in both client and branch view.

BTW, the unslelve works with this shelvelist intra-branch (w/o the - B)

The branch exists...
% p416 branches | egrep "sqf|soc_tb"
Branch soc_tb_main 2016/10/31 'Generated by Frank. codeline: soc_tb
codeline_source_value: //soc/testbench/soc_tb/main '
Branch sqf_test 2017/12/19
'                    
codeline:
soc_tb                      codeline_source_value:
//soc/testbench/soc_tb/main '

The WA I'm attempting this from is a sync to the sqf_test
branch.  The shelvelist was generated in the soc_tb branch_main
branch.  The soc_tb branch was created using P4 2011 and is, I was
told, a mapping from soc_tb_main to sqf_test.  Not sure about sqf_tb
with regard to version (how can I determine this?  Does it even matter
?). 

I believe the "unslelve -b" is not supported in earlier versions of
P4.  But note that I'm running the unshelve with 2016.  


I tried using "-b soc_tb_main" just for kicks, not expecting it to
work.  I was right.  I got the same results.


I'm a novice at P4, so please be gentle :-)
