Re: git-p4 move/delete errors

I spent some time trying to debug this problem but couldn't resolve it myself. It is a huge pain and if I happen to find a fix I will definitely post an update but right now I have given up.

Hopefully someone smarter than myself finds a way to fix this because it is a nightmare to delete/rename files with git and submit back to perforce.

Until recently I have been successfully using git-p4 with much joy and
happiness. Then suddenly git-p4 submit started throwing "Command
failed: p4 diff -du ..." when ever I delete or move a file.

We recently upgraded our perforce server ( Rev.
P4D/NTX86/2009.2/238357 (2010/03/15) ). It was about this time that
the problem came up. First thing I did of course was upgrade to the
latest version of git ( now on 1.7.1 ) but the problem still persists.
Next I updated my p4 client ( Rev. P4/MACOSX104U/2009.2/238357
(2010/03/15) ) but still same problem. All other submits work fine as
long as there are not any deletions or moves.

Anyone else seeing these issues?

Indeed, we just upgraded our Perforce server too, and now I'm getting
this exact error. Did you find a solution to the problem?

If not I'm very interested in solving it. Seems like the p4 diff
command has changed behaviour and broken the git-p4 script.
