Subject: [PATCHv1 0/1] git-p4: better error reporting
Date: Tue,  5 Jun 2018 09:55:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180605085524.10838-1-luke@diamand.org> (raw)

If git-p4 cannot talk to the Perforce server, it will either give a
confusing error message, or just crash. Even I get tripped up by this.

This change just checks that the client can talk to the server, and in
particular that the user is logged in (the default login timeout is 12
hours).

It would be nice to also check for ticket expiration during long
Perforce operations, but this change does not attempt to do that.
