[p4] Offline reconciliation: what files need to be added?

[Shawn Hladky]

You can use p4 add -n, and filter the "can't add ...".  This one-liner
should do the trick:
find . -type f | p4 -ztag -x - add -n | grep clientFile | cut -b 16-
or, in Windows:
for /f "tokens=2,*" %i in ('dir /b /s /a:-d ^| p4 -ztag -x - add -n ^|
findstr /c:"... clientFile"') do @echo %j
