git-p4 Question

[FusionX86 <fusionx86@gmail.com>]

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 one question/problem to discuss.

After setting up the p4 cli client I can 'p4 sync' some
//depot/main/app1 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.
