The tangent depot
As part of rewriting history, Helix Server
makes use of the tangent depot; the tangent depot is a
system-generated, read-only location in which the p4 fetch
-t
command stores conflicting changes. The p4
fetch -t
command automatically creates the tangent depot
named tangent
if one does not already exist. This is further
explained in the next section,
Resolve conflicts by rewriting local history.
For more information on the various kinds of depots, including the
tangent depot, see the p4 depot
chapter in the
Helix Core Command-Line (P4) Reference.
