Hi all,
Is it possible to `git p4 clone --detect-branches` from a Perforce
path which contains bidirectional integrations?
I've tried a bunch of things to get this to work, but here's an
example which hopefully illustrates what I'm trying to accomplish
and the issue I'm having.
Perforce setup, assuming PWD is mapped to //depot/... in your client spec:
1. mkdir -p testing/master
2. touch testing/master/test1 && p4 add testing/master/test1 && p4 submit
3. p4 integrate //depot/testing/master/...
//depot/testing/staging/... && p4 submit
3. touch testing/staging/test2 && p4 add testing/staging/test2 && p4 submit
4. p4 integrate //depot/testing/staging/...
//depot/testing/master/... && p4 submit
Now try to clone with git-p4:
1. git init p4_git_test && cd p4_git_test
2. git config git-p4.branchList master:staging
3. git config --add git-p4.branchList staging:master
4. git p4 clone //depot/testing/...@all --detect-branches .
You end up with a failure like:
Importing from //depot/testing/...@all into .
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /home/amiller/p4_git_test/.git/
Importing revision 1205832 (25%)
Importing new branch testing/master
Resuming with change 1205832
fatal: ambiguous argument 'refs/remotes/p4/testing/staging': unknown
revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
Command failed: ['git', 'rev-list', '--reverse', '--no-merges',
'refs/remotes/p4/testing/staging']
I'm using Git 2.22.1.
Thanks,
Aaron
