Hi!

I submitted a patch a while back to speed up git-p4. What steps should
I take next to move it on? Did I submit the patch wrong in the first
place?

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/124410

Thanks
Luke

Two hints (I didn't follow your patch in particular):

Read Documentation/SubmittingPatches if not done already.

Read the "What's in git.git" and "What's cooking in git.git" messages
on this list and the threads below your patch to know what's going on
with it.

You didn't do anything wrong at all.  I still have the patch in my Inbox.

I was waiting to see an Ack, independent success reports and such.  As I
do not interract with p4 myself at all, I wouldn't be able to judge
patches to p4 area (and contrib/ in general) without help from others.
