    Reading the answers from Peff and Junio, I am convinced that the fast-import should
    not look at core.ignorecase at all.

Agreed, but my patch 0001-fast-import.c-ignorecase-iff-... is working very well (for me anyway), and the ignore-case option may be useful to the git-p4 importer (which I guess is something that should be determined for sure).

If you want, you can turn this into a real patch and send it to the list. I think Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> is one of the experts about p4.

And the same is for fast-export fixes you have made: If you have the time, convert it into a patch and send it to the list.

I'm not sure if there is a document, and yes, it's a nice framework. You can have a look at t0050, it gives a good overview over the most important feattures in the framework, I would say.

(And the shell scripts uses a subset of the POSIX shell, which means we avoid bash-ism things like "[[ ]]" or "==") /Torsten
