title: How to apply a Perforce patch?
body: <p>I generated a patch some time ago using the <code>p4 diff</code> command.</p>
  
  <p>However, now that I want to apply it, I realize that there is no way to apply a patch in Perforce.</p>
  
  <p>Since I did not use the <code>-du</code> option, the patch is in that obscure perforce format and can't be applied with <code>patch(1)</code>. The original changes have been lost. Also, that patch is over 300kb long so manual editing isn't really an option.</p>
  
  <p>What are my options ? Are there patch converters, or some Perforce extension allowing the application of these kind of patchs ?</p>
