assign a shelved changlist in perforce?

Question

I'm really excited about Perforce's new shelve command. They say that you should be able to "reassign" the changelist to someone else, who can then unshelve it.

How do I reassign a shelved changelist? Is there a way to do it in p4v, or only at the commandline?

Of the top of my head, because I don't have p4v at hand: Select the pending changelist in your client, open the context-menu with a right mouseclick and select "shelve". On another client, you can browse to the pending changelists, select the right one and unshelve it; this results in a local pending changelist on this client.

thanks! I didn't realize that perforce was automatically filtering pending changelists by what I've checked out on my workspace. – Denise May 10 '10 at 16:32

This is the only way I know of to do this. Note that doing things this way doesn't remove the changelist from the original owner's workspace, only creating a new one on your own workspace with the same changes. – Caleb Huitt - cjhuitt May 10 '10 at 18:06

The new version of Perforce (2010.1) allows you to right click a changelist that has shelved files and select "Change Ownership...".
