I've been experimenting with git-p4 as a front-end to Perforce as described in http://www.perforce.com/blog/120113/git-perforce-client, but two bugs are causing me major headaches:
(1) git-p4 doesn't work with P4 keyword expansion. (I gather there's a fork of git-p4 that makes it work, but the current official distro doesn't.) This can lead to some ugly failed submits down the road. Which leads me to ...
(2) When a git p4 submit fails, the error message for how to resolve it is bogus. The instructions say "Please resolve and submit the conflict manually and continue afterwards with git-p4 submit --continue", but when I do that, I get:
$ git p4 submit --continue Usage: git-p4 submit [options] [name of git branch to submit into perforce depot] git-p4: error: no such option: --continue
Ugh.
(P.S. If there's a better place to post bug reports, etc., please inform. Thanks.)
