[PATCH] Support different branch layouts in git-p4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I think the addition to the git-p4.txt in the diff explains the
reasoning behind the patch best.  In short, we have a repository
layout

//depot/foo/branch
//depot/moo/branch

where we require projects 'foo' and 'moo' to be alongside each other.
We can do this with p4 views, but currently have to have 'foo' and
'moo' in separate git repos.

This just munges the incoming paths to either put the branch as the
top level directory, or just remove it entirely if you don't need it.

I've tested it locally, but I don't really have a wide variety of p4
environments to expose it too.

+Dealing with different repository layouts
+=========================================
+
+Perforce clients can map views of projects and branches in different
+ways which your build system may rely on.  Say your code is organised
+as two projects "foo" and "moo" which have a common branch
+
+//depot/foo/branch/...
+//depot/moo/branch/...
+
+and you require both "foo" and "moo" projects in your git repository,
+there are several options.
+
+Firstly, you could simply clone each project as a completely separate
+git tree.  However, if the two projects are dependent on each other
+this can be annoying for both sync -- you must remember to sync both
+"foo" and "moo" to keep everything consistent -- and submit -- a
+change that should logically be a single changeset across "foo" and
+"moo" will have to be broken up (breaking bisection too).
+
+Another option is to simply specify multiple depots
+
+ git p4 sync //depot/foo/branch //depot/moo/branch
+
+which will import "foo" and "moo" into the same directory.
+
+To keep the projects separate, the --keep-path option used as
+
+ git p4 sync --keep-path --destination /tmp/boo/ //depot/foo/branch //depot/moo/branch
+
+will create a layout of
+
+ /tmp/boo/foo/branch/...
+ /tmp/boo/moo/branch/...
+
+However, some build systems may rely on p4's ability to specify
+destinations for views in your client.  The --branch-path flag, which
+requires the --keep-path flag, allows two additional layout options.
+
+ git p4 sync --keep-path --destination /tmp/boo --branch-path=none //depot/foo/branch //depot/moo/branch
+
+will remove the branch name entirely, leaving you with a directory
+that looks like
+
+ /tmp/boo/foo/...
+ /tmp/boo/moo/...
+
+and
+
+ git p4 sync --keep-path --destination /tmp/boo --branch-path=first //depot/foo/branch //depot/moo/branch
+
+will give you each of the projects under a directory named for their
+common branch
+
+ /tmp/boo/branch/foo/...
+ /tmp/boo/branch/moo/...
+
+
