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

Another possibility is that the changelist to which your workspace is
synced contains only deleted files (see Note 1 in Tech Note 51).  "p4
changes -m 1 //myworkspace/..." will not include that tip, deleted-only
changelist number, even though it affected your workspace (by deleting
the files).  We had trouble with this case in our continuous-build
application.  If the tip changelist contained only deletes, the app
always thought our workspace was out of date, and it would build over
and over until a new changelist was submitted that contained other
actions.

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.
