Re: [git-p4] Trouble importing all perforce branches into git repository

Hi Grant,

I think I saw that happening when there is nothing to import or in
situations where the parent of a certain branch does not exist.

Perforce does not strictly require branch definitions to allow a branch
structure/flow. It is quite possible that you are integrating stuff
around without using "branch specs". When git-p4 is importing your P4
database it will look at all branches available in the server, including
ones from other depots. So it is possible that while you are seeing a
big list of branches being processed, none apply to the branch structure
you are trying to import.

Could you please confirm that you have Perforce branch specs for all
branches that you are trying to import?

Thanks,

Vitor, 

The "Branch-foo" that git-p4 is crashing on does have a branchspec in Perforce.  I cannot, however guarantee that branchspecs were correctly created and used for all integrates in the repository.  It was created long before I started working here.  Is there a way to limit --detect-branches to only certain branches that I can ensure do have branchspecs?
