Re: git p4 clone - exclude file types
I thought about that, but no. The box I'm running git-p4 on has the following specs: CentOS 6.6 64bit 1 CPU 8GB RAM 8GB Swap It is also on the same physical network as the Perforce server. I remember seeing someone else complain about this, but I can't find the article/blog now.

I haven't been able to narrow down the cause, but I do notice that the git-fast-import stops right as the clone/sync dies. I'm wondering if git is overwhelmed and terminates. Have you ever seen this? Any suggestions? Running out of memory? Is this on a 32bit or 64bit system? How much virtual memory do you have?

Haven't been able to find an answer in docs or other searches. I think you can use a client spec which excludes the files you want. First, create a client spec that excludes the files you don't want: Client: myclient View: //depot/mystuff/... //myclient/... -//depot/mystuff/...exe //myclient/...exe Then clone with the --use-client-spec option: $ export P4CLIENT=myclient $ git p4 clone --use-client-spec //depot/mystuff And later on, when you want to catch up: $ cd mystuff $ git p4 sync --use-client-spec Luke -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
