Re: [p4] Merging one changelist into multiple locations

Posted on behalf of forum user 'p4rfong'.

You can use "ditto" mappings where a file is mapped to multiple
locations.  So one location would be actual and the others would be
linked to the original location. 
See
https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4guide/index.html#P4Guide/configuration.workspace_view.one-to-many.html?Highlight=mappings

Major new functionality in 2016.1
#1357095 (Bug #5897) * **
    Ditto (&) mappings are now supported in client
views.
    These allow a client to map files from the depot into
multiple
    locations in the workspace in a one-to-many fashion.
    Files mapped with this flag are read-only, and may not
be open by
    'p4 edit', etc. The same files may also be
normally mapped, allowing
    a single copy of the file in the workspace to be
openable.
    Each sync'ed copy of the same file has it's own
have record, and so
    can be sync'ed to a different revision from the
other copies of the
    same file. To sync a specific copy of a file, you must
specify the
    path in client syntax.
    Existing clients will be able to sync files mapped with
ditto
    mappings. In order for 'p4 fstat' to show
details about ditto mapped
    files, p4 must either be updated or the
'-zexpandAndmaps' global
    flag must be provided.
