[Buildbot-devel] buildbot try functionality

[Henry]

I'm trying diff, and I having a small but deal breaking problem. p4's  
diff (just doing 'p4 diff') uses absolute paths, which aren't the same  
on a development machine versus a buildslave. relative paths (relative  
from where I am performing the diff) would be the same.

I've tried the --patchlevel  option, but I still get endless:

No file found -- skip this patch? [no]
File to patch:

Should p4 diff give an appropriate diff? Do I need to use any options?
Maybe there is way to use relative paths from the p4 diff end?
