How do I find out which <i>changelists</i> (not <i>files</i>) need
integrating from one branch to another?
</b>
<blockquote>
You can compare the outputs of the <b>p4 changes -i</b> command.
For example:
<pre>
        p4 changes -i //depot/target/... > output1
        p4 changes -i //depot/source/... > output2

        diff output1 output2
</pre>
Changelists in output2 that aren't also in output1 are 
candidates for integration. However, be aware that if <i>any</i>
file revision associated with changelist <i>n</i> was integrated from 
//depot/target/... into //depot/source/..., then changelist <i>n</i>
will show up in both output1 and output2. 
So this method can be used as a rough 
indicator, but it's not as reliable as:
<pre>
	p4 integ -n //depot/source/... //depot/target/...
</pre>
which shows you which <i>files</i> in the target branch need revisions
integrated from the source branch.
