Of course, nobody outside of Trolltech happens to have access to the Trolltech p4 depot, however... if you happen to use p4 internally (like Trolltech) and you wanted to try out the same script, you could clone:

git://repo.or.cz/fast-export.git

You'll also need Shawn's git-fast-import, available from:

git://repo.or.cz/git/fastimport.git

Enjoy!
