[p4] Symbolic names for pending changelists?

[Biswajit Dash]

Nop.
There is no direct way, as perforce does not store any
alias for changelists.

But if you realise the power of command line you will
be able to write alias/macro which can display the
required info just before submitting.

[unix] alias d='p4 changes changes -s pending';
[Dos]  doskey d='p4 changes -s pending'

You can place the alias names in the beginning of the
changelist description so that they will appear in the
output of 'd'
