[p4] Finding changed files in workspace which p4 doesn't know about?

[Russell Jackson]

The following steps are how you get your workspace back in sync with
Perforce:

p4 diff -se ... | p4 -x - edit
p4 diff -sd ... | p4 -x - delete
dir /s /b /a:-d | p4 -x - add (On Unix/Linux, this would be a find . -type f
-print instead of the dir command)

Review your changelist now, and if everything looks correct, submit your
changes.
