[p4] How do you indicate files in your current dir that arent in depot

[Shawn Hladky]

There's a small problem w/ this approach.  Files that are deleted at the
head revision will not show up as needing to be added.  It's better to use
p4 add -n.  That will reverse your filter (you need to filter STDERR, and
keep STDOUT).

So, on windows:
dir /s /a-d /b | p4 -x - add -n 2>nul

Here's a one-liner for windows that filters everything but the name (yes,
it's pretty nasty looking).
for /f "tokens=1 delims=#" %i in ('dir /s /a-d /b ^| p4 -x - add -n 2^>nul')
do @echo %i
