magic number are lot of fun, why would you want to use the clean method :)

So are you saying that in the old days, git-p4 was importing the p4
depo in small slices to not overkill the process memory (in case the
depo is big) ?

BTW, there is the whole universe in my depot, so using -//Work/Users
in my client specification I usually manage to have less megs of code
on my disk after a sync.
This way the git-p4 clone would not use too much memory. But we would
have to change the way git-p4 works, it should be able to read a full
client view instead of just a single perforce path.

Would you give me the git command to fetch the up
git clone <git-url> --date <the good date> ?

Thanks,
Benjamin.
