git-p4 originally would fetch changes in one query. On large repos this
could fail because of the limits that Perforce imposes on the number of
items returned and the number of queries in the database.
To fix this, git-p4 learned to query changes in blocks of 512 changes,
However, this can be very slow - if you have a few million changes,
with each chunk taking about a second, it can be an hour or so.
Although it's possible to tune this value manually with the
"--changes-block-size" option, it's far from obvious to ordinary users
that this is what needs doing.
This change alters the block size dynamically by looking for the
specific error messages returned from the Perforce server, and reducing
the block size if the error is seen, either to the limit reported by the
server, or to half the current block size.
That means we can start out with a very large block size, and then let
it automatically drop down to a value that works without error, while
still failing correctly if some other error occurs.

That can result in errors from Perforce being ignored. Change the code

This change lays some groundwork for better handling of rowcount errors
from the server, where it fails to send us results because we requested
too many.
It adds an option to p4CmdList() to return errors as a Python exception.
The exceptions are derived from P4Exception (something went wrong),
P4ServerException (the server sent us an error code) and
P4RequestSizeException (we requested too many rows/results from the
server database).
This makes the code that handles the errors a bit easier.
The default behavior is unchanged; the new code is enabled with a flag.

On a daily work with multiple local git branches, the usual way to
submit only a specified commit was to cherry-pick the commit on
master then run git-p4 submit. It can be very annoying to switch
between local branches and master, only to submit one commit. The
proposed new way is to select directly the commit you want to
submit.
Add option --commit to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to submit
only specified commit(s) in p4.
On a daily work developping software with big compilation time, one

--update-shelve can now be specified multiple times on the

This then means that a git patch series can be mirrored to a

When "git p4" imports changelist that removes paths, it failed to
convert pathnames when the p4 used encoding different from the one
used on the Git side. This has been corrected.
* ls/p4-path-encoding:
git-p4: fix git-p4.pathEncoding for removed files
In a9e38359e3 we taught git-p4 a way to re-encode path names from what
was used in Perforce to UTF-8. This path re-encoding worked properly for
"added" paths. "Removed" paths were not re-encoded and therefore
different from the "added" paths. Consequently, these files were not
removed in a git-p4 cloned Git repository because the path names did not
match.
Fix this by moving the re-encoding to a place that affects "added" and
"removed" paths. Add a test to demonstrate the issue.

When running git-p4 on Windows, with multiple git-p4.mapUser entries in
git config - no user mappings are applied to the generated repository.
Reproduction Steps:
1. Add multiple git-p4.mapUser entries to git config on a Windows
machine
2. Attempt to clone a p4 repository
None of the user mappings will be applied.
This issue is actually caused by gitConfigList, using split(os.linesep)
to convert the output of git config --get-all into a list. On Windows,
os.linesep is equal to '\r\n' - however git.exe returns configuration
with a line seperator of '\n'.
This leads to the list returned by gitConfigList containing only one
element - which contains the full output of git config --get-all in
string form, which causes problems for the code introduced to
getUserMapFromPerforceServer in 10d08a149d ("git-p4: map a P4 user to
Git author name and email address", 2016-03-01)
This issue should be caught by the test introduced in 10d08a1, however
would require running on Windows to reproduce.
Using splitlines solves this issue, by splitting config on all
typical delimiters ('\n', '\r\n' etc.)

git-p4: support git worktrees
When importing from multiple perforce paths - we may attempt to
import a changelist that contains files from two (or more) of these
depot paths. Currently, this results in multiple git commits - one
containing the changes, and the other(s) as empty commit(s). This
behavior was introduced in commit 1f90a64891 ("git-p4: reduce number
of server queries for fetches", 2015-12-19).
Reproduction Steps:
1. Have a git repo cloned from a perforce repo using multiple
depot paths (e.g. //depot/foo and //depot/bar).
2. Submit a single change to the perforce repo that makes changes
in both //depot/foo and //depot/bar.
3. Run "git p4 sync" to sync the change from #2.
Change is synced as multiple commits, one for each depot path that
was affected.
Using a set, instead of a list inside p4ChangesForPaths() ensures
that each changelist is unique to the returned list, and therefore
only a single commit is generated for each changelist.
