[p4] Can you find out which changelist your workspace has been synced to?

[Bill Mauer]

Both of these posts point out why you may not be able to find a single
changelist number.  Steve's answer is the best as it gives you the two
outside changelists.  You can use that as a Boolean as to whether all of
the files in the workspace are synced to the same changelist, which will
then tell you the answer you are looking for:

p4 changes -m 1 //myworkspace/... | awk '{print "//myworkspace/...@"$2}'
| xargs p4 sync -n

The above is all one line.  If it says "file(s) up-to-date" after the
changelist then you have your answer.  If it tells you it would update
files, then you have syncs to various changelists within the workspace
and that should be corrected if you need an answer.

p4 changes -m 1 //myworkspace/...

will tell you the highest changelist number that had contributed to your

workspace.

p4 sync -n @12345

will tell you whether everything up to and including that changelist 
that is mapped into your workspace has been synced.

Ignoring the possibility that there are things in that changelist that 
aren't mapped to your workspace, these represent the necessary and 
sufficient conditions for your workspace being at that change level.
