将所有Perforce分支导入Git Repo的麻烦
题
我正在尝试将项目的Perforce Depot从一个项目导入Git存储库。我一直成功地将一个分支到一个单一的git repo,但我想做的就是在整个项目加上所有分支机构,但我无法正确地工作。
我有我的.p4settings文件:
P4PORT=perforce-server.local:1666
P4USER=my.username
P4CLIENT=my.clientspec.name
.
客户端是相当简单的:
//project/... //my.clientspec.name/project/...
-//project/External/... //my.clientspec.name/project/External/...
.
第二行是从结账中排除外部库二进制文件。
我使用以下命令行开始git-p4导入:
git p4 clone --verbose --detect-branches --max-changes=100 //project/...@all
.
这会通过并检查所有分支名称等,并尝试从第一个提交开始的导入(此特定项目在ChangElist 771开始)
Importing from //project/...@all into project
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/grant/Development/git_test/project/.git/
Reading pipe: git config git-p4.useclientspec
Reading pipe: git config git-p4.user
Reading pipe: git config git-p4.password
Reading pipe: git config git-p4.port
Reading pipe: git config git-p4.host
Reading pipe: git config git-p4.client
p4 -G branches
Opening pipe: p4 -G branches
p4 -G branch -o branch-1
Opening pipe: p4 -G branch -o branch-1
Reading pipe: git config --bool core.ignorecase
p4 -G branch -o branch-2
...
Opening pipe: p4 -G branch -o branch-n
p4-git branches: []
initial parents: {}
.
我不确定p4-git分支,初始父母应该在这里空,但它们是。
最后我们到达它即将开始将更变化的人导入git,下面发生以下情况:
Getting p4 changes for //project/...
p4 changes //project/...
Reading pipe: p4 changes //project/...
p4 -G describe 771
Opening pipe: p4 -G describe 771
Importing revision 771 (1%)branch is MAIN
Importing new branch RCMerge/MAIN
p4 changes //RCMerge/MAIN/...@1,770
Reading pipe: p4 changes //RCMerge/MAIN/...@1,770
Resuming with change 771

looking for initial parent for refs/remotes/p4/project/MAIN; current parent is refs/remotes/p4/project/Branch-foo

现在,作为一个穿孔新手,我不知道这意味着什么,不知道如何解决这个问题,或者它甚至可能。有没有人遇到过类似的问题?如果是这样,你是如何解决它的?
解决方案
I've finally figured out the solution to this problem. It turns out that a Perforce branch mapping was done in reverse and that was the source of this problem.
Branch-foo was branched off of MAIN, which should have a branch mapping like so:
//project/MAIN/... //project/Branch-foo/...
However, the person who created the branch, reversed the mapping, thus resulting in this:
//project/Branch-foo/... //project/MAIN/...
This confused git-p4 as MAIN had the first changelists starting at #771 and Branch-foo had changelists starting at #7652, thus it couldn't find any parent in Branch-foo and crashed. Changing the branch spec to the first one listed above fixed the probblem.
