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

[Jeff A. Bowles]

I believe that "p4unknown.pl/p4unknown.py/p4unknown.rb"
in//guest/jeff_bowles/scripts/...
(public depot) is worth your time.

%  grep '^#' * p4unknown.pl*
# T*ask: determine which files need to be "p4 add'ed."*
#
# *num of calls to 'p4': 2*
#-----------------------------------------------------------
# *first call to P4: 'p4 info'*
#-----------------------------------------------------------
#-----------------------------------------------------------
# *second call to P4: 'p4 fstat //myclient/...'*
#-----------------------------------------------------------
#
*# at this point, we create two assoc. arrays to hold*
*# the filenames:*
*#     allFilesPerforce - from "p4 fstat //myclient/..."*
*#     allFilesPresent  - from "File::Find" mechanism*
*# We can walk through the two lists of files to find*
*# what's missing (and probably why).*
