List files which are new or deleted between two branches

I've two branches in perforce. Branch12.0 and Branch14.0. How can I find files which are deleted/added from Branch14.0 since Branch12.0?

Solution

  • You can do this with p4 diff2 (help):

    p4 diff2 -q //depot/Branch12.0/... //depot/Branch14.0/...

    Each line of the output will look like this:

    ==== file1 - file2 ==== summary

    where file1 and file2 are either depot paths with revisions, or <none>. For files which are missing in one branch, summary will be empty:

    p4 diff2 -q //depot/Branch12.0/... //depot/Branch14.0/... | grep '=$'

    This gives you results like:

    ==== //depot/Branch12.0/file.txt#1 - <none> ====
==== <none> - //depot/Branch14.0/file2.txt#1 ====

    indicating that file.txt that was deleted in Branch14.0, and file2.txt was added.
