git-p4 Question

Hello,

Hopefully this is an appropriate place to ask questions about git-p4.

I started at a company that wants to migrate from Perforce to Git. I'm new to Perforce and have been trying to learn just enough about it to get through this migration. Anyway, I've been playing with git-p4 and have one question/problem to discuss.

After setting up the p4 cli client I can 'p4 sync' some //depot/main/app1 which pulls down the files I would expect from the Perforce server. If I use 'git p4 clone //depot/main/app1', I get:

"Doing initial import of //depot/main/app1/ from revision #head into refs/remotes/p4/master"

But I don't get any files from that depot/folder pulled down. I can git p4 clone other depot/folders though and get some files. I suspect that I'm just not understanding how the git-p4 module works.

Basically, I'm hoping to setup a live sync of Perforce to Git of certain depots in preparation for the migration. Also, if anyone has pointers or guides for this type of migration, any help is appreciated.
