Do you mean that if foo.c was created at cl1+1, that after doing the clone, it wasn't there?

If so, that doesn't sound right to me.

I have just tried doing what I think you mean:

1. Create p4 depot
2. Add foo.c (at CL 2)
3. Add bar.c (at CL 3)
4. git-p4 clone //depot@2,3

I end up with both files.

Possibly I'm misunderstanding what you're doing! Can you give a sequence of steps to show the problem?

Thanks! Luke
