[git-p4 automatic branch detection]

git p4 clone --verbose --detect-branches --max-changes=100 //project/...@all

I worry that --max-changes prevents it from pulling in the
ref for Branch-foo, and this confuses the automatic branch
detection that assumes it has all its parents.

It would certainly be more reliable if you did "git-p4 sync
--branch foo //project/foo@all" for each branch you care about.

Vitor has some modifications to auto-branch detection that might
be useful, or maybe some thoughts as to what's going on.

Removing --max-changes=100 has no effect on the crash I'm experiencing.   Same crash still happens on the very first imported commit.

If i do "git-p4 sync --branch foo //project/foo@all" for each branch, does that convert 'p4 integrate' commands into git merges?  I"m trying to keep all history intact when importing from p4 into git.

Thanks,
