[p4] How can I tell if a changelist was added to a label?

[Jeff Grills]

Yes, you're correct.  Notice that I said "changes that contribute to a
label" and not "changes that are in a label".  Many sites do operations on
changelists and can reasonably assume that changelists move around as atomic
entities.  Still, your point is valid and I should have taken the time to
explain that limitation in my original reply.

>	p4 changes //... at LABEL

That statement is incredibly useful, but I think you need to be careful with
it, and keep in mind its limitations.

Wouldn't it return a change number, even if only half of than change list
was in the label?


Thanks,
Melissa

I think this might work for your needs - you'll see all the changes that
contribute to a label:

	p4 changes //... at LABEL

If you want to consider only the changes that contributed the exact
revisions of the files in the label (instead of all revisions up to the head
for each file), you can use this command:

	p4 changes //... at LABEL,LABEL

If you add "-m 1" to either command, p4 will report only the highest change
number, which might suit your needs.
