Re: [PATCH 0/4] Move git-p4import into contrib directory.

Hi Junio,

Having caught up on some list emails, it appears that Git now has a
much better option for importing from Perforce in the git-p4 front
end to fast-import.

Is there anyone out there actually even using git-p4import?  It was
written for a very specific case, by a git wannabe hacker who had
never used Perforce before, and not intended for inclusion in Git
proper...

My guess is that it could be removed outright without pain to anyone,
but as a first step, it could be moved into contrib for 1.5.3.

I vote for removing it immediately. It has serious bugs - e.g.,
incremental mode is totally broken. I sent in a patch a month ago to fix
this particular bug, which remains unapplied. Now that git-p4 has made
it into git.git, I don't think anyone - myself included - is interested
in creating or merging git-p4import.py fixes. Keeping git-p4import.py in
this broken state just wastes the time of anyone unlucky enough to see
it first.

Best regards,
Scott
