[p4] diff2 + added files?

[Looney, James B]

I usually do that using labels.  I'll create a label in one workspace
(usually our mainline) and the second in a branch.  Then use p4 diff2 -q
//... at mainline_label //... at branch_label

If you're scripting it, I'd recommend adding the -G (marshaling) as it
makes the file organizing a LOT easier since it'll tell you which files
were added/deleted/modified without you having to parse each line
yourself.  The -q just suppresses the actual diff output and the header
info for identical files.
