2015-10-03git-p4: add support for large file systemsLibravatar Lars Schneider1-10/+129
Perforce repositories can contain large (binary) files. Migrating these repositories to Git generates very large local clones. External storage systems such as Git LFS [1], Git Fat [2], Git Media [3], git-annex [4] try to address this problem. Add a generic mechanism to detect large files based on extension, uncompressed size, and/or compressed size.

A P4 repository can get into a state where it contains a file with type UTF-16 that does not contain a valid UTF-16 BOM. If git-p4 attempts to retrieve the file then the process crashes with a "Translation of file content failed" error. More info here: http://answers.perforce.com/articles/KB/3117 Fix this by detecting this error and retrieving the file as binary instead. The result in Git is the same.

2015-08-28git-p4: fix P4 label import for unprocessed commitsLibravatar Luke Diamand1-8/+17
With --detect-labels enabled, git-p4 will try to create tags using git fast-import by writing a "tag" clause to the fast-import stream. If the commit that the tag references has not yet actually been processed by fast-import, then the tag can't be created and git-p4 fails to import the P4 label.

2015-08-28git-p4: honor core.ignorecase when using P4 client specsLibravatar Lars Schneider1-0/+7
Perforce depot may record paths in mixed cases, e.g. "p4 files" may show that there are these two paths: //depot/Path/to/file1 //depot/pATH/to/file2 and with "p4" or "p4v", these end up in the same directory, e.g. //depot/Path/to/file1 //depot/Path/to/file2 which is the desired outcome on case insensitive systems. If git-p4 is used with client spec "//depot/Path/...", however, then all files not matching the case in the client spec are ignored (in the example above "//depot/pATH/to/file2"). Fix this by using the path case that appears first in lexicographical order when core.ignorecase is set to true. This behavior is consistent with "p4" and "p4v".

2015-06-10git-p4: fixing --changes-block-size handlingLibravatar Luke Diamand1-22/+63
The --changes-block-size handling was intended to help when a user has a limited "maxscanrows" (see "p4 group"). It used "p4 changes -m $maxchanges" to limit the number of results. Unfortunately, it turns out that the "maxscanrows" and "maxresults" limits are actually applied *before* the "-m maxchanges" parameter is considered (experimentally). Fix the block-size handling so that it gets blocks of changes limited by revision number ($Start..$Start+$N, etc). This limits the number of results early enough that both sets of tests pass. Note that many other Perforce operations can fail for the same reason (p4 print, p4 files, etc) and it's probably not possible to workaround this. In the real world, this is probably not usually a problem. Signed-off-by: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-04-23git-p4: improve client path detection when branches are usedLibravatar Vitor Antunes1-4/+9
Perforce allows client side file/directory remapping through the use of the client view definition that is part of the user's client spec. To support this functionality while branch detection is enabled it is important to determine the branch location in the workspace such that the correct files are patched before Perforce submission. Perforce provides a command that facilitates this process: p4 where. This patch does two things to fix improve file location detection when git-p4 has branch detection and use of client spec enabled: 1. Enable usage of "p4 where" when Perforce branches exist in the git repository, even when client specification is used. This makes use of the already existing function p4Where. 2. Allow identifying partial matches of the branch's depot path while processing the output of "p4 where". For robustness, paths will only match if ending in "/...".

The diff information render the spec file unusable as is by p4, do not include it when run with --prepare-p4-only so that the given file can be directly passed to p4. With --prepare-p4-only, git-p4 already tells the user it can use p4 submit with the generated spec file. This fails because of the diff being present in the file. Not including the diff fixes that.

2014-01-22git p4 test: do not pollute /tmpLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+1
Generating the submit template for p4 uses tempfile.mkstemp(), which by default puts files in /tmp. For a test that fails, possibly on purpose, this is not cleaned up. Run with TMPDIR pointing into the trash directory so the temp files go away with the test results. To do this required some other minor changes. First, the editor is launched using system(editor + " " + template_file), using shell expansion to build the command string. This doesn't work if editor has a space in it. And is generally unwise as it's easy to fool the shell into doing extra work. Exec the args directly, without shell expansion. Second, without shell expansion, the trick of "P4EDITOR=:" used in the tests doesn't work. Use a real command, true, as the non-interactive editor for testing.

2014-01-22git p4: work around p4 bug that causes empty symlinksLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+8
Damien Gérard highlights an interesting problem. Some p4 repositories end up with symlinks that have an empty target. It is not possible to create this with current p4, but they do indeed exist. The effect in git p4 is that "p4 print" on the symlink returns an empty string, confusing the curret symlink-handling code. Such broken repositories cause problems in p4 as well, even with no git involved. In p4, syncing to a change that includes a bogus symlink causes errors: //depot/empty-symlink - updating /home/me/p4/empty-symlink rename: /home/me/p4/empty-symlink: No such file or directory and leaves no symlink. In git, replicate the p4 behavior by ignoring these bad symlinks. If, in a later p4 revision, the symlink happens to point to something non-null, the symlink will be replaced properly. Add a big test for all this too. This happens to be a regression introduced by 1292df1 (git-p4: Fix occasional truncation of symlink contents., 2013-08-08) and appeared first in 1.8.5. But it shows up only in p4 repositories of dubious character, so can wait for a proper release.

"git p4" does not support many of the view wildcards, such as * and %%n. It only knows the common ... mapping, and exclusions. Redo the entire wildcard code around the idea of directly querying the p4 server for the mapping. For each commit, invoke "p4 where" with committed file paths as args and use the client mapping to decide where the file goes in git. This simplifies a lot of code, and adds support for all wildcards supported by p4. Downside is that there is probably a 20%-ish slowdown with this approach.

2013-03-11git p4: avoid expanding client paths in chdirLibravatar Miklós Fazekas1-7/+22
The generic chdir() helper sets the PWD environment variable, as that is what is used by p4 to know its current working directory. Normally the shell would do this, but in git-p4, we must do it by hand. However, when the path contains a symbolic link, os.getcwd() will return the physical location. If the p4 client specification includes symlinks, setting PWD to the physical location causes p4 to think it is not inside the client workspace. It complains, e.g. Path /vol/bar/projects/foo/... is not under client root /p/foo One workaround is to use AltRoots in the p4 client specification, but it is cleaner to handle it directly in git-p4. Other uses of chdir still require setting PWD to an absolute path so p4 features like P4CONFIG work. See bf1d68f (git-p4: use absolute directory for PWD env var, 2011-12-09).
