[p4] Can't add filenames with wildcards [@#%*] in them.

[Jeff Campeau]

The p4 add command only uses command line syntax, so you can't add with
... since that is a Perforce only wildcard. If you want to add all files
recursively, you need to be a little tricky. Depending on your OS, there
are different ways to do this. Assuming Windows:

dir /s /b | p4 -x - add

Make sure you run this from a directory that only includes files you
actually want to add, running it from C:\ would not be a good idea.
Also, this may not work well if there are any spaces in the directory or
file names that you are trying to add.

Subject: [p4] Can't add filenames with wildcards [@#%*] in them.

I'm trying add a new source tree to my depot by doing "p4 add ...",  
but get the message:

Can't add filenames with wildcards [@#%*] in them.

As far as I can tell, I don't have any filenames with those  
characters in them.  Is there any way to have p4 tell me exactly  
which pathnames it's not happy with?
