[p4] perforce vs. subversion

[Noah Salzman]

Patrick,

I don't think that (p4 diff -sa ...) is what he is looking for. I  
believe he's talking about the case where he has added files to his  
client space and perforce doesn't know about the files.

So, something like this but with a -n (do nothing) flag would solve  
the request:

     find . -type f | p4 -x- add

... unfortunately p4 add doesn't have a -n flag.

This seems to work but it would be nicer if there was just a native  
p4 command that did it:

      find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | p4 -x- files | grep "no such"


   --Noah--
