Dunno the answer, but....
I would debug it by running the commands "p4 changes -i //depot/dir1/dir2/whatever.c at label1" (and for label2, also). The noise will be substantially filtered out, and you can figure out a strategy (or at least, what's going on) much more easily.

ps. If the example you gave had two labels that were very, very far apart, time-wise, then the scenario you give would be easy to create. (I suspect it's not that easy.)

Hi there,
I am looking for sure fire algorithm/procedure to report changes between two labels where label1 is on the main line and label2 is on a branch created from the main line.
I am doing a "p4 changes -i @label1" command then a "p4 changes -i @label2" command and the change counts are very different. For example, command 1 gives me 3000 changes. Command 2 gives me 595 changes. A "p4 files" command indicates the labels have the same number of files associated to them.
I have sent both outputs to a text file and a side-by-side diff shows gaping holes where CLs are missing from the send output. This is the branch listing.
Can someone please explain why there is such a discrepancy and what would be a better approach for handling this?
Thanks,
