[p4] Determining which files a user has checked in between two dates

[Shawn Hladky]

One tricky part to the logic, is that p4 changes will return changelists in
descending order chronologically, but you'll want to sync them in the
opposite order.  I have to ask, if a user submitted the change, why would
they need to sync it?  Are they syncing to a different client spec than the
one they submitted from?

As for a "more  windows" way to do it... what technology do you have in
mind?  You could script this in a batch file.  There's P4COM, P4.Net,
vbscript, etc.  There's lots of alternatives to using UNIX shell commands.
