[p4] Multiple Branch management

[Andrew Reynolds]

It is an undocumented feature. Check out 'p4 help undoc' for the
details.

Thanks! I think that is what I need. Funny, this is not in the p4 guide.

Back in the day, I had a script that used p4 integ -n, p4 changes, and
awk to get this sort of report.  Nowadays, "p4 interchanges" does it
much more easily.

One quirk I discovered with p4 interchanges is that files with
multiple unmerged revisions ending in a delete don't show up in the
report.  Files with just an unmerged delete do show up.

You can use some of the "p4 help usage" flags to run a report
anywhere.  For example, if you have a template for creating the parent
workspace and a branchspec for the child, you can do something like
this:

p4 -c parent-master -H master interchanges -b child-branch

-c is the client workspace template
-H is the hostname for that workspace
-b is the branchspec

Depending on the direction of your branchspec, you may need to add the
-r flag to the end.
