I work in a company where P4 is used as version control system. As you can probably guess, it is slow, heavy and works in only 50% of cases. In the interest of my mental health, I'd like to use git. But again, direct migration to git is not possible due to the company policy. So I thought about using git p4 as a substitute. Of course it is not so easy. Clone / rebase / sync work as expected, but there's a problem with submit. My company uses its own utility to submit changes instead of the regular p4 utility (again, the company policy). The issue here is that git-p4.py has hardcoded "p4" as part of p4_build_cmd function and there is no way of changing it. I can prepare a patch to change it (I know that dedicating some of my free time to something my company will clearly benefit from is a dumb idea, but I'm kind of desperate here) but before I do anything I have two questions 1) Will such patch be accepted in the first place? This is quite odd idea and I wouldn't be surprised if you don't want to agree on it. 2) If the answer is yes, do you have any recommendation regarding the potential implementation? Kind regards ```
