Is there a way get the list of changelists after a particular changelist for a particular branch?
p4 changes (some flag ?) (CL#) //depot/project

When you check out a file, Perforce adds information about the file to a changelist and changes the writable attribute of the file in your local workspace from read-only to read/write. A changelist defines a logical grouping of work across a set of files and folders.
If you don't want to do this via command-line, you can edit a changelist description in P4V. Open the changelist (right-click, "View Changelist"), and there's an "Edit" button at the bottom which makes the Description field editable, allowing you to fix a typo or confusing description for a changelist.
p4 reconcile. Open files for add, delete, or edit to reconcile a workspace with changes made outside of Helix Server. You might need to use this command after working offline from Helix Server. p4 rec is a synonym for p4 reconcile .
p4 add opens files within the client workspace for addition to the depot. The specified files are linked to a changelist. The command can add files to a new, empty depot or to a depot that already contains files. The files are added to the depot when the changelist is committed with p4 submit .
This can be done with the following syntax (assuming you want to see all the changes submitted to this branch since changelist 12345 inclusive):
p4 changes //depot/project/...@12345,#head
To successfully use Perforce it is crucial to understand the intricacies of the Perforce File Specifications or filespecs. Think of it as the query language of Perforce.
For example, if you want to do something with a branch between two points you would need a filespec similar to below:
//depot/branches/branch_name/...@12345,#head specifies a range between changelist 12345 and head/latest.
//depot/branches/branch_name/...@12345,23456 specifies a range between changelist 12345 and 23456.
//depot/branches/branch_name/...@2012/08/01,@2012/08/21 specifies a range between two dates.

p4 changes "//depot/project/...@>nnn"
where nnn is your CL#.

If you're into Perforce Integration, and you need to get the next CL to Integrate (the CL right after the last one you've integrated, say @12345), try this:
p4 changes "//depot/branches/branch_name/...@>12345" | tail -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2
