I’ve tried exactly your commands, and I’ve got an empty folder..
{14:38}~/p4/testmess ➭ p4 sync @59702 //depot/openssl/0.9.8j/openssl/include/openssl/aes.h#2 - refreshing /home/dgerard/p4/testmess/aes.h //depot/openssl/0.9.8j/openssl/include/openssl/asn1.h#2 - refreshing /home/dgerard/p4/testmess/asn1.h //depot/openssl/0.9.8j/openssl/include/openssl/asn1_mac.h#2 - refreshing /home/dgerard/p4/testmess/asn1_mac.h //depot/openssl/0.9.8j/openssl/include/openssl/asn1t.h#2 - refreshing /home/dgerard/p4/testmess/asn1t.h //depot/openssl/0.9.8j/openssl/include/openssl/bio.h#2 - refreshing /home/dgerard/p4/testmess/bio.h //depot/openssl/0.9.8j/openssl/include/openssl/blowfish.h#2 - refreshing /home/dgerard/p4/testmess/blowfish.h //depot/openssl/0.9.8j/openssl/include/openssl/bn.h#2 - refreshing /home/dgerard/p4/testmess/bn.h //depot/openssl/0.9.8j/openssl/include/openssl/buffer.h#2 - refreshing /home/dgerard/p4/testmess/buffer.h […]

Then I tried to sync the previous changeset, which is ok :

However, when trying to sync to the appropriate changeset :

And the folder remains untouched. Quite strange for me...
