[p4] Trigger wildcards

[Looney, James B]

Yes, I tried using '*' and a couple other wild cards...Nothing.  I was
hoping perhaps I overlooked something in the docs, or that someone might
know of an undocumented list.   So, it sounds like Perforce wants you to
make certain you know what you're doing with triggers, and be explicit.
Not allowing us developers to be lazy in this case.  

Thanks,

Not according to the documentation. Did you try it?
