Using p4v – Thanks for tenpn from stackoverflow
In the Jan 2009 version of P4V, you can right-click on any folder in your workspace tree and click “reconcile offline work…”
This will do a little processing then bring up a split-tree view of files that are not checked out but have differences from the depot version, or not checked in at all.
