      On 2013.1/685046, p4 diff -dcu produces a patch file with the header:

      ==== //depot/foo/f.txt#1 - /Users/tdavies/tmp/p4test/foo/f.txt ====

      But on 2013.3/784164, the same command line produces:

      --- //depot/foo/bar.ipr 2013-12-23 18:36:46.000000000 -0800

      I am not sure exactly which version of Perforce introduced the change.
