In other words, similar to the -N flag from Gnu diff.

I don't know of any built-in way.  None of the following work:

   p4 diff2 -u
   p4 diff2 -u -dN
   p4 diff2 -duN

The best I can think of is to pipe the output of 'p4 diff2 -du' (NOT -u) to
a process that will turn lines like "==== <none> - //depot/foo#9 ====' into
the '+' lines you want, and remove the rest of the "====" lines.
