Re: [PATCH 2/2] git-p4: Add copy detection support

Hi Pete,

You can use integrate -t to force the filetype even if the file

(Copying help text:

	Newly branched files always use the source file's filetype.  The
	filetype can still be changed before 'p4 submit' with 'p4 reopen'.

Since in git we're only considering newly branched files, I think in
this case "-t" will not add anything. In fact, what is being done here
is detecting exec bit changes from source to target files - we're not
trying to force P4 to use the source's exec bit. Do you agree?

Kind regards,
