Similar to "Preview check only", a "Proxy-load only" populate mode would be quite useful, implementing the -Zproxyload flag for sync.
The use-case is pretty simple. I'd like to create a Jenkins job here to keep a local P4 Proxy hot, and right now there's no way to do it without also populating a local workspace, which is a significant disk-space cost.
Ideally, the history of such a job would show the changelists being pulled in each sync, so the local havelist would need to be maintained, I guess? I'm not sure how well -Zproxysync plays with that, it might be best to follow up with a sync -k as well.
It'd be doubly-useful if this (and the other population options) were added to the Workflow DSL exposure. There's a current TODO in the code for that.
