+done using "git-p4 sync". Submitting changes from Git back to Perforce is
+done using "git-p4 submit".
Importing
=========
mkdir repo-git
cd repo-git
git init
- git-p4.py sync //path/in/your/perforce/depot
+ git-p4 sync //path/in/your/perforce/depot
This will import the current head revision of the specified depot path into the
master branch of your git repository. You can use the --branch=mybranch option
If you want to import the entire history of a given depot path just use
- git-p4.py sync //path/in/depot@all
+ git-p4 sync //path/in/depot@all
To achieve optimal compression you may want to run 'git repack -a -d -f' after
a big import. This may take a while.
git repository. This is the basic procedure:
cd path/to/your/perforce/checkout
- git-p4.py submit --git-dir=/path/to/your/git/repository
+ git-p4 submit --git-dir=/path/to/your/git/repository
This will create a temporary git branch, use git-rev-list to find out which git
commits are in your current branch but not in the "origin" branch. You can
If a submit fails you may have to "p4 resolve" and submit manually. You can
continue importing the remaining changes with
- git-p4.py submit --git-dir=/path/to/your/git/repository --continue
+ git-p4 submit --git-dir=/path/to/your/git/repository --continue
After submitting you should sync your origin branch from Perforce using
git-p4's sync command.
