Ok, I have heard a lot of perfect words about Git. I'm almost on your side :-)

Just need some advice on (small for Git, I hope) problem. 
I'm trying to import P4 depot into Git (for mirroring purpose).
It seems a non-trivial task with the current git-p4 script.
Perhaps, I had selected a wrong way: i'm trying to import some client.

In fact, as I said in previous mails, typically I have few similar clients.
So, maybe it is simpler to import some set of branches (which I suppose a little 
bit simpler with git-p4).

Unfortunaley, the directory structure of the depot differs from client's (i.e. 
working tree differs from repository tree).
For example,
//depot/component/version could be mapped to the 
<root_of_working_tree>/component.

Thus if I import //depot/component/version1 and //depot/component/version2
as is, I should be able to checkout either version1 or version2.
Note that there could be few components in the same working tree:

//depot/component1/version1 (mapped to <root>/component1)
//depot/component2/versionX (mapped to <root>/component2)
//depot/component3/versionY (mapped to <root>/component3)

With Perforce, there could also be a more complex mappings, but maybe we will 
discuss it later).

Is there any way to make this mapping with Git? Should I invent some kind of 
tool like 'repo' or there is a simpler way?
