I'd like to track a lot of code living in a Perforce repository, so I've
been playing with 'git-p4.py'.  Is the one in the contrib/fast-import
directory the latest version, or is there a better place.

So far, it is having a couple of problems:

  - The commit comment is empty.  It doesn't seem to grab the Perforce
    description, and the user seems to be <a@b>.

  - Every revision seems to check every file out of Perforce.  This means
    that for the directory I want, every revision is going to take about
20 minutes.

An additional problem:

   - git-p4 doesn't preserve the execute permission bit from Perforce.

Hmm, can you paste the output of

	p4 fstat //path/in/depot/to/file/that/is/imported/incorrectly

? I'm interested in the type of the file that p4 reports.

FWIW it works for me ;-)

Thanks,
