You could revert the unchanged files before the submit. In version 99.2, it's "p4 revert -a". Prior to that, it's "p4 diff -sr | p4 -x - revert".

Yes, this is what I have to do. I have aliased a command to do it, so it isn't as much of a pain.

A few months back, I asked why submit only accepted one argument. Someone from Perforce (I believe) said that it was sort of a historical hack.

The problem with the revert method (which does work) is that I need to go back and check the files out again that I didn't yet change. Sometimes I actually don't want them checked out, and the revert method is what I want to do. But most of the time, I am just "checkpointing", and going back to check everything out again is sort of a pain.

A couple of things to put on the RFE wish list:

- Allow submit of multiple files.

- Add option to exclude unchanged files from the default changelist when submitting (not really needed if the previous is added).

Thanks!
