Same result. :(

My current workflow is:

$ rm -rf projdir $ git-p4 clone //depot/projdir/...@all $ cd projdir $ git remote add gitremote endre@gitserver/gitrepo.git $ git fetch -q gitremote $ git checkout -b tempbranch gitremote/master $ git rebase -q master $ git-p4 sync $ git-p4 submit

The result is still tons of file already exists in working directory messages.

I dropped the whole directory, and then recreated it, I do not know any better 'cleanup'. :)
