2012-01-03git-p4: view spec documentationLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-13/+27
Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-27git-p4: document and test submit optionsLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-2/+6
Clarify there is a -M option, but no -C. These are both configurable through variables. Explain that the allowSubmit variable takes a comma-separated list of branch names. Catch earlier an invalid branch name given as an argument to "git p4 clone". Test option --origin, variable allowSubmit, and explicit master branch name.

2011-12-27git-p4: test and document --use-client-specLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+4
The depot path is required, even with this option. Make sure git-p4 fails and exits with non-zero. Contents in the specified depot path will be rearranged according to the client spec. Test this and add a note in the docs. Leave an XXX suggesting that this is somewhat confusing behavior that might be good to fix later. Function stripRepoPath() looks at self.useClientSpec. Make sure this is set both for command-line option --use-client-spec and for configuration variable git-p4.useClientSpec. Test this.

2011-12-27git-p4: document and test --import-localLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+3
Explain that it is needed on future syncs to find p4 branches in refs/heads. Test this behavior. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-27git-p4: document and test clone --branchLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+9
Clone with --branch will not checkout HEAD, unless the branch happens to be called the default refs/remotes/p4/master. The --branch option is most useful with sync; give an example of that. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-27git-p4: test cloning with two dirs, clarify docLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-2/+9
Document how git-p4 currently works when specifying multiple depot paths: 1. No branches or directories are named. 2. Conflicting files are silently ignored---the last change wins. 2. Option --destination is required, else the last path is construed to be a directory. 3. Revision specifiers must be the same on all paths for them to take effect. Test this behavior.
