Hi All,
Me again with more dumb git-perforce questions.

I have been toying with git-p4 and I think it does everything I want except the crazy client map support. I figure I don't really need this. My client is something like this:

//depot/sane/... //clientroot/crazy/... //depot/stuff/... //clientroot/dumb/... //depot/otherstuff/... //clientroot/dumb/... //depot/my/product/... //clientroot/src/realworkhere/...

My "working directory" looks something like this:

c:\path\crazy\xyz_from_perforce c:\path\crazy\abc_from_huge_binary_fileshare_notinp4 c:\path\dumb\... c:\path\src\realworkhere\...

If I can just sync from p4 and then sync my binary share and THEN tell git-p4 that //depot/my/product/... maps to c:\path\src\realworkhere, get it to import history etc, then I would be set.

Is this at all possible to do with git-p4?

If not, what sort of work would be necessary to add that (considering that I am a git noob).

Thanks for the help.
