same_as_p4_reconcile.py

This is a Python 3 script that's nearly the same as simply running "p4 reconcile".

I'd already started writing it before I realized what a duplication of effort it was. So, of course, I decided to memorialize it here.

To preview how a reconcile would look, issue a command like so:

same_as_p4_reconcile.py -c 48 -n source_dir/ p4_dir/

Of course, issue the command with -h or --help to learn more.

same_as_p4_reconcile.py --help
usage: same_as_p4_reconcile.py [-h] [-c CHANGELIST] [-n] source_dir p4_dir

Similar to "p4 reconcile"

positional arguments:
  source_dir            The newer directory outside perforce
  p4_dir                The perforce directory to be modified

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CHANGELIST, --changelist CHANGELIST
                        Changelist to use
  -n, --preview         Preview only, don't change any files

So you put a Perforce script in a Git repo?

Wait, what?

Is it any good?

Yes.
