How to make 'p4 annotate' list the modifier name instead of revision number

In previous organization, 'cvs annotate' used to give annotation w.r.t m开发者_C百科odifier login id. This was very useful and time saving in finding out who modified what in the file. Could i do same thing in perforce with simple tweeks?

It appears that version 2016.2 of p4 adds a -u option to annotate that prints the username of the person who modified the line:

1. Write a python (or ruby or ) wrapper, that calls p4 annotate -c file, filters out the change numbers and maps those to users (via p4 describe -s #change) and joins the two outputs
2. Use the "Time-lapse View" of p4v
