[p4] Merging one changelist into multiple locations

Posted on behalf of forum user 'jamesh'.

Hi,

We've got a depot hierarchy that goes something a bit like this:

//depot/dev
//depot/rel/1.0
//depot/rel/2.0
//depot/rel/3.0
...

In general, we make changes to the dev location, and every so often create a new
release branch by branching dev to the desired location. However, sometimes, we
have to make changes to all of our branches. So, we make the change in dev, and
then use merge/integrate to merge the change from dev into each branch
separately.

I was wondering if there was a way to merge from one location into multiple
locations at the same time, without having to do lots of separate merge
commands? I know that branch mappings exist, but when I try to do something like
this:

//depot/dev/... //depot/rel/1.0/...
//depot/dev/... //depot/rel/2.0/...
//depot/dev/... //depot/rel/3.0/...

Only the last of these is actually integrated, so obviously this isn't quite
the way to do it. Can anybody provide a better way than having to do it
separately for each one?
