I wonder if there is any way to move a Changelist which was created editing on /main/ to a branch /dev/branch?

I have six such Changelists with a lot of files in them. I shelved all files and would like to move them to the branch to keep working there. I would prefer to do this directly in P4V, if possible.

I'm using P4V 2011.1 with the 2010.2 P4 server.

Starting with Perforce 2013.1, you can shelve a file in one branch and unshelve it into another, using a branch spec or stream as the mapping.

Here is the documentation which describes the new -b and -S options.
