[p4] Changing default changelist

[Brad Holt]

I've thought about that one as well, especially as it makes it easier to script against not having to account for some other special case pending change.  However I can also see why the default changelist is just about necessary as I know folks have written scripts that would make repetitive calls to open whole pile of files:
p4 open //path/foo1.cpp
p4 open //path/foo2.cpp
p4 open //path/foo3.cpp
p4 open //path/foo4.cpp
...

This script checking out all half a million files individually without naming a precreated pending change would permanently eat up all those changelist numbers and make the user's p4 environment completely unwieldy (the UI may not even handle it).

Maybe they could use a new change number each time, but you would be required to specify "new" with the -c changelist flag to get a new pending change number or something.

Is there a way to make perforce NEVER use a default changelist and
always select the next change number in line?
