Perforce - unshelve files into another directory

I have two directories into the same workspace, I shelved some files into a changelist in the first directory and now I want to unshelve them into the second.. I tried this command:

p4 -c my_workspace unshelve -s 17654070 -n -b //my_workspace/directory2
Branch '//my_workspace/directory2'
 unknown - use 'branch' command to create it.

How can I have this working?

Solution

  • You'll need to create a branch spec to tell the server the relationship between the two directories.

    1. run p4 branch some_branch_name

    2. In the view field put:

      //depot/directory1/... //depot/directory2/...

    3. Save the form and run p4 -c my_workspace unshelve -s 17654070 -n -b some_branch_name
