I was sort of hoping we could fold the fast-export Git repository on repo.or.cz into core Git at some point. Right now the only thing in contrib/fast-export is the import-tars.perl script that I maintain in my fastimport repository... ;-)

Like Junio I don't use Perforce, and can't test against it, but if you can maintain git-p4 (and I think the history on repo.or.cz shows that you do) then it may be a good idea to add it to core Git.

Send a patch to add it. Worst that happens is both Junio and I decide not to apply it. Or I apply it, but Junio refuses to pull from me afterwards. ;-)
