[p4] Tracking changes to client specs?

[Matt Janulewicz]

Spec changes are not really 'submitted' per se, so there is not 
changelist or other records like that which you find in regular 
versioned files.

I think, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong, your only hope is a 
little forensic investigation. I believe only the owner and superusers 
can change a client spec. Hopefully you don't have too many superusers.

Has the owner of this spec changed previous to this Root: edit?

Is this O: drive on a public machine? Can you check, say, file ownership 
on transient files from a build? If this is on a regular user's machine 
then I don't see how anybody but him/her could have changed it. It's 
been sitting idle for a long time, too. What suddenly happened to make 
you notice it's changed?
