I'll try this today and post back on my experience. From your usage example here, it seems to behave the way I thought git-p4import.py would. Is git-p4import.py still used and maintained? I submitted a patch to fix something trivial on Friday, but didn't here any response to that either, which led me to believe that it's not the tool being used most often for p4->git migration... --Kevin
