Is git-p4 maintained?

[Yuri]

There are problems with the 'git p4 submit' command.


The 'git p4 submit' command first asks many questions like:

Unfortunately applying the change failed!
//xx/xx/xx/xx/xx/xx/xx#92 - was edit, reverted
What do you want to do?
[s]kip this commit but apply the rest, or [q]uit?


The files that it complains about aren't even involved in the commit 
that is being pushed.

After all the questions are answered with "s" - git-p4 often fails to 
push commits.


Deleted files and added files cause problems during 'git p4 submit' and 
when such files are in the commit - 'git p4 submit' prints some error 
messages and fails to push commits.

git-p4 says that it can't apply some patches and fails when it is 
pushing commits that delete or add files.


The workaround is to place the deleted file back and remove the added 
files before the 'git p4 submit' operation.


Is git-p4 maintained?
Is there any chance for these problems to be fixed?


Thanks,

Yuri

The last time anybody touched git-p4 was July last year, but
there is no dedicated area maintainer active even back then, as far
as I know (if not, please raise your hand).

But there may be folks willing to help.  When I saw the patch[*] in
July last year, I was surprised to see it almost immediately got a
review to support it.  Your post may attract attention from others
who are familiar with "git p4" and/or the problem you are describing
and you folks may be able to join forces to improve it.

Thanks.
