Hi All,

Me again with more dumb git-perforce questions.

I have been toying with git-p4 and I think it does everything I want
except the crazy client map support.  I figure I don't really need
this.  My client is something like this:

//depot/sane/... //clientroot/crazy/...
//depot/stuff/... //clientroot/dumb/...
//depot/otherstuff/... //clientroot/dumb/...
//depot/my/product/... //clientroot/src/realworkhere/...

My "working directory" looks something like this:

c:\path\crazy\xyz_from_perforce
c:\path\crazy\abc_from_huge_binary_fileshare_notinp4
c:\path\dumb\...
c:\path\src\realworkhere\...

If I can just sync from p4 and then sync my binary share and THEN tell
git-p4 that //depot/my/product/... maps to c:\path\src\realworkhere,
get it to import history etc,  then I would be set.

Is this at all possible to do with git-p4?

If not, what sort of work would be necessary to add that (considering
that I am a git noob).

Thanks for the help.

-Govind
