Removing --max-changes=100 has no effect on the crash I'm experiencing. Same crash still happens on the very first imported commit.
If i do "git-p4 sync --branch foo //project/foo@all" for each branch, does that convert 'p4 integrate' commands into git merges? I"m trying to keep all history intact when importing from p4 into git.
