Actually, my preference is to have a "patch 0" before all of the above, that demotes git-p4import to contrib/ hierarchy. Having no access to p4 managed repositories (nor much inclination to get one), I can never test nor maintain it myself, so it is just crazy for me to be the maintainer for it.Will do. What does that mean for Documentation/git-p4import.txt and the git-p4 rpm (defined in git.spec.in)? Should I move them with it? (Seems nothing else in the main tree references contrib.) If so, maybe I should set up a common "Documentation/asciidoc.mak" or something for building the man/html pages rather than duplicating all that Makefile logic.
A much more preferable alternative is for you to say "Hey, don't say you want to demote it. I'll keep it maintained, I regularly use p4 and have a strong incentive to keep it working". Then we do not have to do the "patch 0" ;-)
