I would certainly be \ninterested, but I forsee difficulties testing the interaction with p4 in a \ngeneral way independent from a specific server setup.\n\n\nSimon\n"},{"id":"83160","messageId":"e48c5e540807131140k754dbb88k36dd8fb463e6fc6b@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"14421","inReplyTo":"200807131426.09688.simon@lst.de","subject":"Re: tests for git-p4","fromName":"Matt McClure","fromEmail":"mlm@aya.yale.edu","sentAt":"2008-07-13T18:40:38Z","receivedAt":"2008-07-13T18:40:38Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"mlm@aya.yale.edu","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/1f1c0a8463848f10e33560e11dc081fa290e3d7fbd4273fec0a11e1fc6cf2516?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"On Sun, Jul 13, 2008 at 8:26 AM, Simon Hausmann wrote:\n> On Saturday 12 July 2008 14:24:10 Matt McClure wrote:\n> There are currently no automated tests for git-p4.

At higher levels of abstraction, if they\nevolve, I could replace p4 with a test double that doesn't need a\nPerforce server.\n\nMatt\n"}]}
