Subject: git-p4.py caching
Message-ID: <CAG2PGsqs2dQM0SJ25ocHJ+Nex_m2NC5yQQuROxcF6SG2e93wCQ@mail.gmail.com>

hi!

I am using git-p4.py to migrate a lot of medium and large Perforce
depots into git. I almost exclusively go one way: from Perforce to
git. I also frequently re-clone/re-migrate as the Perforce migration
client spec is refined.

For this, I have added rudimentary caching in git-p4.py so that
Perforce requests are not repeated over the network.

I have it working and tested on a ~150MB repo and the migration time was halved.

Is this something that would be of interest to the larger community?
