[p4] Centrally Setting Up Different Workspaces to View Same Set of Files at Different Revisions

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Sambwise'.

You want the import @change feature in streams -- this is *exactly* what
it's for!

As of 2015.2 there's a feature that's meant to work with this feature to
make updates atomic (not positive if you need that for your case or not) -- you
can include a stream update in a changelist by using the command "p4 stream
edit" to put it into an "open" state where changes you make are
committed along with your next submit.  See the "p4 stream"
doc:   
https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/Content/CmdRef/p4_stream.html

You could also do this with branching, potentially, but avoiding concurrent
edits would require some careful thought (there's probably a way,
though).  Let me know if using the streams solution seems hopeless and
I'll think on that some more.   :)
