To: git; +Cc: Pete Wyckoff, Sean Estabrooks, Clemens Buchacher, Marc Branchaud
The git p4import documentation has suggested git p4 as a better
alternative for more than 6 years. (According to the mailing list
discussion when it was moved to contrib/, git-p4import has serious
bugs --- e.g., its incremental mode just doesn't work.) Since then,
git p4 has been actively developed and was promoted to a standard git
command alongside git svn.
Searches on google.com/trends and stackoverflow suggest that no one is
looking for git-p4import any more. Remove it.
Noticed while considering marking the contrib/p4import/git-p4import.py
script executable as part of a wider sweep.

-NAME
-----
-git-p4import - Import a Perforce repository into git
-
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-`git-p4import` [-q|-v] [--notags] [--authors <file>] [-t <timezone>]
- <//p4repo/path> <branch>
-`git-p4import` --stitch <//p4repo/path>
-`git-p4import`
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-Import a Perforce repository into an existing git repository. When
-a <//p4repo/path> and <branch> are specified a new branch with the
-given name will be created and the initial import will begin.
-
-Once the initial import is complete you can do an incremental import
-of new commits from the Perforce repository. You do this by checking
-out the appropriate git branch and then running `git-p4import` without
-any options.
-
-The standard p4 client is used to communicate with the Perforce
-repository; it must be configured correctly in order for `git-p4import`
-to operate (see below).
-
-
-OPTIONS
--------
--q::
- Do not display any progress information.
-
--v::
- Give extra progress information.
-
-\--authors::
- Specify an authors file containing a mapping of Perforce user
- ids to full names and email addresses (see Notes below).
-
-\--notags::
- Do not create a tag for each imported commit.
-
-\--stitch::
- Import the contents of the given perforce branch into the
- currently checked out git branch.
-
-\--log::
- Store debugging information in the specified file.
-
--t::
- Specify that the remote repository is in the specified timezone.
- Timezone must be in the format "US/Pacific" or "Europe/London"
- etc. You only need to specify this once, it will be saved in
- the git config file for the repository.
-
-<//p4repo/path>::
- The Perforce path that will be imported into the specified branch.
-
-<branch>::
- The new branch that will be created to hold the Perforce imports.
-
-
-P4 Client
----------
-You must make the `p4` client command available in your $PATH and
-configure it to communicate with the target Perforce repository.
-Typically this means you must set the "$P4PORT" and "$P4CLIENT"
-environment variables.
-
-You must also configure a `p4` client "view" which maps the Perforce
-branch into the top level of your git repository, for example:
-
-------------
-Client: myhost
-
-Root: /home/sean/import
-
-Options: noallwrite clobber nocompress unlocked modtime rmdir
-
-View:
- //public/jam/... //myhost/jam/...
-------------
-
-With the above `p4` client setup, you could import the "jam"
-perforce branch into a branch named "jammy", like so:
-
-------------
-$ mkdir -p /home/sean/import/jam
-$ cd /home/sean/import/jam
-$ git init
-$ git p4import //public/jam jammy
-------------
-
-
-Multiple Branches
------------------
-Note that by creating multiple "views" you can use `git-p4import`
-to import additional branches into the same git repository.
-However, the `p4` client has a limitation in that it silently
-ignores all but the last "view" that maps into the same local
-directory. So the following will *not* work:
-
-------------
-View:
- //public/jam/... //myhost/jam/...
- //public/other/... //myhost/jam/...
- //public/guest/... //myhost/jam/...
-------------
-
-If you want more than one Perforce branch to be imported into the
-same directory you must employ a workaround. A simple option is
-to adjust your `p4` client before each import to only include a
-single view.
-
-Another option is to create multiple symlinks locally which all
-point to the same directory in your git repository and then use
-one per "view" instead of listing the actual directory.
-
-
-Tags
-----
-A git tag of the form p4/xx is created for every change imported from
-the Perforce repository where xx is the Perforce changeset number.
-Therefore after the import you can use git to access any commit by its
-Perforce number, e.g. git show p4/327.
-
-The tag associated with the HEAD commit is also how `git-p4import`
-determines if there are new changes to incrementally import from the
-Perforce repository.
-
-If you import from a repository with many thousands of changes
-you will have an equal number of p4/xxxx git tags. Git tags can
-be expensive in terms of disk space and repository operations.
-If you don't need to perform further incremental imports, you
-may delete the tags.
-
-
-Notes
------
-You can interrupt the import (e.g. ctrl-c) at any time and restart it
-without worry.
-
-Author information is automatically determined by querying the
-Perforce "users" table using the id associated with each change.
-However, if you want to manually supply these mappings you can do
-so with the "--authors" option. It accepts a file containing a list
-of mappings with each line containing one mapping in the format:
-
-------------
- perforce_id = Full Name <email@address.com>

8 siblings, 1 reply; 13+ messages in thread
From: Jonathan Nieder @ 2013-11-25 21:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: git; +Cc: Clemens Buchacher, Marc Branchaud
A #! line in these files is misleading, since these scriptlets are
meant to be sourced with '.' (using whatever shell sources them)
instead of run directly using the interpreter named on the #! line.
Removing the #! line shouldn't hurt syntax highlighting since
these files have filenames ending with '.sh'. For documentation,
add a brief description of how the files are meant to be used in
place of the shebang line.

* [PATCH 9/9] remove #!interpreter line from shell libraries

To: git; +Cc: Paul Mackerras, Pat Thoyts, Clemens Buchacher, Marc Branchaud
In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.
The harm:
- When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can
confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.
- Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.
- Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start
with a #! line.
The good:
- Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
place.
The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments.
This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).
Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.
Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:
find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
while read file
do
read line <"$file"
case $line in
'#!'*)
echo "$file"
;;
esac
done
The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).
