Could you put a\n\n print \"$tmpfile\\n\";\n\nafter line 1400?\n open($ft,'>',$tmpfile) or die \"$tmpfile: $!\\n\";\n\nand run git-p4-import -v -v -v?\nThan it possible to compare lists of the files which is acquired\nthrough p4 change with the list of files output by p4 print.\n\nWhat perforce client version do you have, BTW?\n\n> Let me know if you want to continue this off list since\n> it isn't really a part of git.\n\nIt isn't. We can continue privately\n"}]}
