Re: [p4] Viewing the changes in a pending changelist?

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Sambwise'.

Matt has it right, "p4 describe" isn't set up to call into the
client-side diff routine as part of printing its output, so it only shows diffs
that can be done server-side.

The -F (format string) global option generally eliminates the need for using
"sed" and the like to pipe filename output into other commands:

p4 -F %depotFile% opened -c $c | p4 -x - diff -du10
