[p4] Very old pending change lists

[Jamison, Shawn]

I know how to get the list of pending change list and how to delete
them. 

I just thought that Perforce did the house keeping and deleted the
pending CL when the client specs with open files were deleted.

You can run a "p4 describe" on these changelists to make sure they are
empty. You can find a list by running "p4 change -s pending" which will
give you a listing of all pending changelists and the name of the user
and client which opened them.

Then you can run "p4 change -d <changeNum>" to delete these changelists.

Deleting a client closes any file opened for editing, but I also thought
it closes all the changelists opened by that client. I guess I'll have
to reread the documentation to verify this.
