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

[Jeff A. Bowles]

That's a very nifty way to do it. Thanks for the idea!

Also, I'll point out that "p4 fstat //myworkspace/..." is another  
command to exploit. It is especially fruitful at times. (E.g., the  
headache, "show files I need to open for add," becomes really easy if  
you have this 'fstat' command in your arsenal.)
