[PATCHv2 3/3] git-p4: reduce number of server queries for fetches

From
Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org>
Date
Dec 19, 2015, 09:39 UTC
Message-ID

From: Sam Hocevar <sam@hocevar.net>

When fetching changes from a depot using a full client spec, there is no need to perform as many queries as there are top-level paths in the client spec. Instead we query all changes in chronological order, also getting rid of the need to sort the results and remove duplicates.
