Great tip, Shawn!

That should speed up significantly the shell script I created for 
automatic change log generation, because now it calls "p4 describe -s" 
for every change number and is naturally quite slow and probably quite a 
burden on the Perforce server and perhaps on the network too...Changing 
it to just issuing one call should help a lot....one more thing to do 
before the weekend.... :-)
