Re: [p4] P4 sync order of operations

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Sambwise'.

There is a bit of special-casing IIRC where deleted files get processed first --
that's mostly there to handle the edge case of a case-insensitive client vs
a case-sensitive server (if the "same file" gets deleted and added in
the same changelist you want to make sure to do the writes in that order or the
client will have the wrong thing at the end of it).  I'm not sure
if that happens within arg batches or on the whole set; I'd suspect it's
within batches and that's part of why -L exists to explicitly batch
everything together.

Other than that I'd expect everything to be in alphabetical order, although
I wouldn't bet either way on whether it's sorted on depot path or on
client path (not that it usually matters).
