I am sure that is a common mistake people make, but not in this case. I have been using it successfully for a while now, it just suddenly stopped working, not sure what changed. I am not seeing anything on remotes/p4/master either, and I was originally doing rebase and went back to sync so I could run "--verbose" and see if it was even downloading those changes. I can clearly see it says it is downloading them, but then they just don't end up in git.

Since I don't see an error message about it failing to sync, I am at a
loss to figure out why it says it succeeded, but it didn't.  Could
there be one step in the code that is not catching an error condition?
 I am not all that familiar with Python, but if someone could point me
where to put some debug messages, I can do some testing.

Thanks,

Mike
