Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] git-p4: "alien" branches and load changelist info from file
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2019 19:54:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1553283214.git.amazo@checkvideo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1553207234.git.amazo@checkvideo.com>
This patch series introduces two experimental features to git-p4,
which unrelated to each other.
1. The first patch adds support for so-called "alien" branches.
The feature lets git-p4 create empty commits
to make the history or tags more accurate.
It is particularly useful when splitting a large Perforce depot
into multiple git repositories.
2. The second patch adds support for loading changelist information from a file.
(`p4 -G describe` equivalent)
The original use case is to be able to migrate a Perforce depot,
which database got a little bit corrupted, into git.
It would be nice to get some feedback to see
if these features are usable in general and are worth mainlining at all.
The patches don't contain documentation or test changes yet,
because I wanted to get feedback first
if there is interest in mainlining these features in the first place.
This patch series should be applied on top of
"[PATCH v2 0/7] git-p4: a few assorted fixes for branches, excludes" [1]
