[p4] Is there a command in Perforce that could tell me which changelists were included in the last sync I did?

It could also be inferred by looking at your have list (I'm assuming that you
did a 'p4 sync' and didn't just sync a subdirectory).

Something along the lines of:

        p4 files '#have' |                      # list all the files in your ws
            sed 's/.*change \([0-9]*\).*/\1/' | # strip out all but cl numbers
            sort -un |                          # uniq/numeric sort
            tail -1                             # and the last value is it

If you need the changelist number regularly, it's easier to save it as part
of yout build (if automated) or just check it out beforehand with a command
like:

        p4 changes -s submitted -m 1

Then sync to that changelist number.  It removes any ambiguity.

PS - You may get slow responses this week.  A lot of us (especially the
        certified trainers and consulting partners) are at the Perforce 
        conference :)
