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

[Jeff Jensen]

I once had a similar wish (and still would like it), but in the end it is
not a reproducible build and requires extra setup by each developer.  For
me, when needing a specific version of a dependency like that, it means
branching that file to the project that needs it, such that the latest
version there would work for everyone.

This is using codeline management well, with the dependencies (lazy copied)
in the codeline.  Completely reproducible and no additional knowledge
needed.

One of the things I'd love to see in Perforce is the ability to put
the revision information when you setup a client. For example, let's
say that I need to build my project against a certain revision of the
barutils library. I could do something like this:

Client : myclient
[...]
View:
    //depot/lib/MAIN/barutils... at 3234  //myclient/barutils
    //depot/myproj/MAIN/foo...      //myclient/foo

Now, whenever I sync my client, it is always pulling up the correct
revision of the barutils directory.

This would also solve Mohamed's issue because he could specify the
sync revision right in the client instead of just on the command line.
Then, by looking at the client, you'd be able to remember what
changelists were needed and for which directories.
