[p4] Feature request: P4 job as revision range specifier

[Stephen Vance]

Kevin --

Feature requests need to go to support at perforce.com. This list is only 
for user discussions. Perforce support monitors the list, but it's not 
the official conduit.

Because the relationship between changelists and jobs is many-to-many, 
in the general case there is no way to guarantee you will get what you 
want. And if there is more than one fix to a job, then a job definitely 
isn't an atomic unit of work. However, I can see the usefulness of your 
request.
