Do you mean, that if the old SCM had given the revision id of 10 to a.c and 11 to b.c, that in P4 I simply treat these files as text, not text+k, and ignore their values?

If so, then this totally throws out the concepts of keyword substitution.

No, it makes $Revision$ into an accurate reflection of one SCM's state, ignoring the other.

You can't have two incompatible systems stick the same information into the same keyword, so you have three options:

1. Make one system rename its $Revision$ keyword.
2. Make one of them stop using $Revision$ at all.
3. Make the keyword unreliable (because any single instance may represent one system or may represent the other).

I don't know any way to make perforce support option 1, but perhaps the other SCM can do that? Option 2 is easy. Option 3 would defeat the idea of keywords, IMHO.
