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") :-)
