When I saw the patch[*] in\nJuly last year, I was surprised to see it almost immediately got a\nreview to support it.  Your post may attract attention from others\nwho are familiar with \"git p4\" and/or the problem you are describing\nand you folks may be able to join forces to improve it.\n\nThanks.\n\n[References]\n\n* https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1285.git.git.1657267260405.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/\n\n"}]}
