In perforce, I can mark for add/mark for delete files. However how can i swap files: replacing an old file with a new file with the same name? I have a couple binary files controlled by Perforce and I would like to replace. It’s not a normal change/update case…

Newbie in Perforce. Many thanks!

    Isn’t this just the normal change/update case? It’s just that the change to that particular file is rather extensive:

    1. check out the file in Perforce
    2. copy the new data over that file
    3. commit the changed file to Perforce
