[p4] converting static labels to automatic labels

Hello all.

I'm wanting to convert some of the old static labels we have (many
containing over 60k files) into automatic ones, in the hopes that it
will make label diffs more efficient.  The conversion process itself
isn't that hard.

The hard bit is trying to determine if an automatic label can represent
a static label.  The only way I can think of right now is to find the
highest change list in the label, and then perform a diff between the
label and the change list.  But, is that the best way?  Is there a
simpler way (that just hasn't occurred to me yet...).


So, my question to these eminent minds is this: what is the best way to
determine if a static label can represented by an automatic label?


Thanks

JDG
