Look at "pca -l 141879". As you specify a patch ID without revision, pca
will resolve patch dependencies and list all patches required by 141879
as well. As "pca -r 141879" makes the same dependency analysis, it will
show you the READMEs of all required patches as well. You can use your
pager's "skip" command to go to the next file.
If you do not want that, either specify a complete patch ID including
revision (like "pca -r 141879-08") or use the "--nodep" option I added
recently, exactly for this recurring question ("pca --nodep -r 141879") :-)
