Subject: BUG: git-p4: can't add files with special chars
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:48:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EE6688A.2030105@diamand.org> (raw)

I just noticed this today. You can't add a file from git to perforce 
that contains a p4 special character (@,#,% or *).

There is code to cope going the other way round (p4 file with special 
character in it) but if you create a file in git and then try to git-p4 
submit, it fails.

I've just tried a quick and simple fix, and it turns out that it's not 
that easy as the special characters get expanded to %40, %2A and so-on. 
The % seems to get further expanded by python...
