Thanks for a very detailed answer.

But I still think that this could be just a simple linear diff of (maxchg # at latest label) - (maxchg # at older label), and listing of changes between these two changes (since that is already supported).

For example, this simple shell script does it for me now.

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# != 2 ]; then echo "Invalid usage" echo "Usage: $0 @label1 @label2" exit 1 fi

ochg=`p4 changes //depot/us/tag/4.2/...$1 | head -1 | awk '{print $2}'`

nchg=`p4 changes //depot/us/tag/4.2/...$2 | head -1 | awk '{print $2}'`

if [ $ochg -gt $nchg ]; then p4 changes //depot/us/tag/4.2/...@$nchg,@$ochg else p4 changes //depot/us/tag/4.2/...@$ochg,@$nchg fi

So, I am not sure why it might be difficult for perforce to support this usage.

Just a thought.
