title: Perforce won't branch over deleted files
body: <p>I'm using perforce, and I have a <code>../dev</code> folder with my code, a <code>../trunk</code> folder with the testable code, and a <code>../rel</code> folder for the code ready to be deployed to production. The way I work is that I work on <code>../dev</code>, and when I have a stable version, I branch to <code>../trunk</code>. After testing, I grab <code>../trunk</code> and branch it to <code>../rel</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I accidentally branched <code>../dev</code> to <code>../rel</code>, so I went ahead and marked for delete the <code>../rel</code> folder. Then, I tried to branch <code>../trunk</code> to <code>../rel</code> but perforce is failing saying that "Can't populate target path when files already exist". So, it seems that even if I delete the files that were wrongfully on branched to <code>../rel</code>, they still exist and I can't overwrite them with the <code>../trunk</code> files. </p>
  
  <p>What can I do?</p>
