Managing shelves

It’s a good idea to check periodically for stale or abandoned shelves. Based on the last time a shelf was accessed, you might decide to delete the shelf.

The command p4 -Ztag change -o displays, in addition to other information, the access time for shelved files. You can use this information to determine if a shelved file has been abandoned and needs to be removed.

p4 -Ztag change -o 38
