OK, here's the scoop. Having lost /home on our Perforce server I've rebuilt 
from last night's backup. That means there may be more recent work in your 
workspaces than there is in the Perforce server. 

There are also lots of other things broken: like the automatic building of 
tarballs and population of the download directory to name but a few. I'll get 
to those in time.

So, I'm about to fire up the perforce server again and I need your help to 
bring things back up to date again.

Rule#1: Do not use 'p4 revert' until you've completed the steps below - you 
will likely lose some work.

The object of the exercise now is to re-submit all the work you've done since 
3am UK time. You can use Perforce to help you find out what that is. Please 
run:

        cd <top of your workspace>
        p4 diff -se ... | p4 -x - edit
        p4 diff -sd ... | p4 -x - delete
        find . -type f | p4 -x - add 2>/dev/null

Then run:

        p4 opened

and check the list of files you have opened for add/edit and delete.  Look 
out 
for the files opened for add especially - any 'turds' in your workspaces 
(like vim recovery files etc) will be included here. Revert those files that 
should not be added - note, don't revert edits unless you're really happy to 
lose those changes.

Submit the files.

Remember, it's better to have bad changes in the SCM system than good changes 
that get lost on your PC. If in doubt - submit it, we can sort out any errors 
later.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Tony
