[p4] find a client for a file?

[Chuck Karish]

Perforce does work that way if the administrator has turned on
peessimistic locking:

The suggestion to use "p4 opened -a <directory_name>/..." is correct.
Be sure to specify a file or directory; the default is to look for all opeened
files in the depot, which can be very expensive.
