There are problems with the 'git p4 submit' command.
The 'git p4 submit' command first asks many questions like:

Unfortunately applying the change failed! //xx/xx/xx/xx/xx/xx/xx#92 - was edit, reverted What do you want to do? [s]kip this commit but apply the rest, or [q]uit?

The files that it complains about aren't even involved in the commit that is being pushed.

After all the questions are answered with "s" - git-p4 often fails to push commits.

Deleted files and added files cause problems during 'git p4 submit' and when such files are in the commit - 'git p4 submit' prints some error messages and fails to push commits.

git-p4 says that it can't apply some patches and fails when it is pushing commits that delete or add files.

The workaround is to place the deleted file back and remove the added files before the 'git p4 submit' operation.

Is git-p4 maintained? Is there any chance for these problems to be fixed?

Thanks,
Yuri
