@ -63,18 +63,6 @@ It is recommended to run 'git repack -a -d -f' from time to time when using
incremental imports to optimally combine the individual git packs that each
incremental import creates through the use of git-fast-import.
A useful setup may be that you have a periodically updated git repository
somewhere that contains a complete import of a Perforce project. That git
repository can be used to clone the working repository from and one would
import from Perforce directly after cloning using git-p4. If the connection to
the Perforce server is slow and the working repository hasn't been synced for a
while it may be desirable to fetch changes from the origin git repository using
the efficient git protocol. git-p4 supports this setup by calling "git fetch origin"
by default if there is an origin branch. You can disable this using
git config git-p4.syncFromOrigin false
