[p4] diff between two revisions

[David Weintraub]

Use "p4 diff2":

$ p4 diff2 MakeFile at 1499 MakeFile at 1186

Assuming, of course, that 1499 and 1186 are changesets, and not
revision numbers.

I've never been crazy for P4's command line syntax, but you specify
the revision AFTER the file name.
