[p4] getting the last changes from a spec depot item

[Michael Delaney]

I thought about that, but the output from annotate would require more
parsing and could be more prone to errors. It seems better just to
create the output from 'p4 diff2' which is easier for me to read.

Ah fair enough, I thought you were looking for a way around having to
parse the output of p4 filelog.

Then in this case, how about using annotate ? That would show you what
changed when, and it supports a version range specifier:

p4 annotate -qa //spec/protect.p4s at 2008/10/02,2008/10/03
