IOW, you sync down the files as you were commanded (it's corporal, umm... corporate, remember?) and run the script to create a commit for you. You still have to run git-commit manually, but don't have to pass "-a" to it (which can be dangerous, and does not pick up the files recently added to p4 repo). For the poor souls unlucky enough to be in windows environment, a .bat is attached, too. P4 has a better interoperability with python, so rewriting this script in Python maybe a good idea. ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2006-08-14 14:07 Subject: Re: Another Perforce importer for git Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/ebq016%24fd3%241%40sea.gmane.org In-Reply-To: <81b0412b0608140604u75c6522brbc1bc83fc7c9c5c8@mail.gmail.com> ``` Alex Riesen wrote: > Just in case someone might ever need this: it imports > a _synced_ state into git repo.

It a bit not enough, I'm afraid. Besides, I'd have to reference the scriptlet by gmane - there wont ever be a webpage, I think: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/25352 ```
