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

Hello,

Hopefully this is an appropriate place to ask questions about git-p4.

I started at a company that wants to migrate from Perforce to Git. I'm new
to Perforce and have been trying to learn just enough about it to get
through this migration. Anyway, I've been playing with git-p4 and have run
into something with it I don't understand.

After setting up the p4 cli client I can 'p4 sync' some //depot/main/app1
depot/folder which pulls down the files I would expect from the Perforce
server. If I use 'git p4 clone //depot/main/app1', I get:

"Doing initial import of //depot/main/app1/ from revision #head into
refs/remotes/p4/master"

But I don't get any files from that depot/folder pulled down. I can git p4
clone other depot/folders though and get some files. I suspect that I'm just
not understanding how the git-p4 module works.

Basically, I'm hoping to setup a live sync of Perforce to Git of certain
depots in preparation for the migration. Also, if anyone has pointers or
guides for this type of migration, any help is appreciated.
