How do I get a local copy of the review's code for evaluation?

Swarm manages one or more changelists containing shelved copies of all of the files belonging to a specific review. You can unshelve the files to receive a copy of the review’s code.

Determine the changelist containing the review's files

Visit the review's page.
The current review version's changelist appears in the file list heading:

In this example, the changelist is 697707. You use the identified changelist in place of shelved changelist below.

Note

Swarm can version file updates in reviews. For more information, see “Review display”.

Using P4

For a shelved changelist, use a command-line shell and type:

$ p4 unshelve -c shelved changelist

For a committed changelist, use a command-line shell and type:

$ p4 sync @committed changelist

Note

Your client's view mappings need to include the changelist's path.

Using P4V

For a shelved changelist:

Select Search > Go To....
Change the select box to Pending Changelist.
Type in the shelved changelist number and click OK.
Select the files in the Shelved Files area.
Context-click, and select Unshelve....
Click Unshelve.

For a committed changelist:

Select Search > Go To....
Change the select box to Submitted Changelist.
Type in the submitted changelist number and click OK.
Select the files in the Files area.
Context-click, and select Get this Revision.
Click Close.

Using Git Fusion

Git Fusion-initiated reviews include the Git logo beside the main review identifier. This indicator is important because Perforce users cannot update Git Fusion-initiated reviews.

In the following example, the current local task branch is task1, the target branch is master, the review id is 773273, the Git Fusion hostname is gfserver, and the remote repo name is p4gf_repo.

Fetch the review's head version:
```
$ git fetch --prune origin
From gfserver:p4gf_repo
 * [new_branch]      review/master/773273 -> origin/review/master/773273
 x [deleted]         (none)     -> origin/review/dev/new
```
The --prune option lets the local Git repo delete the unwanted review/master/new reference created by the initial git push origin task1:review/master/new command.
Check out the review's head version:
```
$ git checkout review/master/773273
```

Important

You can only update Git Fusion-initiated reviews using Git Fusion.
