I think Sandy's speaking of other files, i.e., files not included in that particular user's changelist(s). Files that other developers may have changed.

The maximum 'time consistant cross-section' changelevel is that last changelevel sync that was done across the entire client.

Why is this important? Because of the following typical scenerio:

1) developer syncs to head 2) edits stuff, verifies stuff 3) without syncing again, submits change

At this point, the client has a time inconsistant cross-section in that the submitted files are at the head, but any changes between step 1 and step 3 are missing. p4ics.pl will print this condition with interesting details.

I don't quite understand. Perforce schedules for resolve those files that changed between 1 and 3 so you can't really submit them until you resolve them. Why do you say the changes are missing?
