Hi,

I am hoping to convince my co-workers to start using a Distributed
SCM, hopefully git, and I wanted to see what people had to say about
the Perforce-git interoperability.  To make it more fun we are doing
this on Windows.

I have been playing around with git for a month or so and have started
writing, what I hope will be, a nice GUI over git that works well on
Windows (Cygwin) and offers some feeling of familiarity to our
Perforce users.  That however is only half the problem.

We need to be able to go back and forth to our main Perforce depot,
and while I understand that git-svn support is very good, I have only
seen limited support of Perforce.  I was wondering if anyone has been
using git with p4 and how well did it work.  We have very complex and
somewhat large "clients" that do a lot of mapping of directories
(which strikes me as particularly insane) and I was wondering if any
of the tools support that.

If anyone has any suggestions/guidance on how to do this I would appreciate it.

Thank You,
Govind Salinas.
