[p4] p4 help

[Marc-Antoine Ruel]

That's a valid reason (except for 'shit') but it should have fallen back to latest server revision anyway.

Use case: writing a p4perl script while on a flight.

Perforce's inability to do anything unconnected (even help) is really bothering me...

Question to Perforce developpers: Why is a connection to the server needed
for the command "p4 help"?

Because the features available depend on the revision level (and possibly configuration) of both the client that you are running and the server that you are running against. And if you can't connect to a server, you can't do shit anyway.
