Perforce permits branching from a remote depot, but not to a remote depot - they are read-only. If the goal is to replicate the remote depot, this won't do it. If the goal is to keep local changes to remote depot, it works very well. It will require you to be online to do source udpates, though. While perforce doesn't let you work with it while disconnected, there is a simple procedure to integrate changes made locally while disconnected back to the depot. Personally, I'd love to have access to FreeBSD source via a perforce remote host. On the other hand, I'm biased. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
