Before I sync my Perforce client in the morning, I’d like to read the diffs and log messages for any changelists that will affect me. Unfortunately, though, I can’t find a simple way to list such changelists using either p4 changes or P4V. I suspect I’m missing something simple, though.

Is there a way that I can list all the changelists submitted since I last sync’ed my client? If I can get the full descriptions and diffs from previous depot revisions, as p4 describe does for a single changelist, that would be even better.

    The simple answer is:

    p4 changes -l "...#>have"

    You need the quotes to avoid your shell doing redirection.

    You can trivially iterate over the changes and call “p4 describe” on each one.

    You can get a full diff by using “p4 diff2” (assuming you want a unidiff):

    p4 diff2 -du ...#have ...#head

    But that doesn’t give you a per-changelist diff.
