[PATCH/RFC v2 1/2] git-p4: small improvements to user-preservation

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

 



. Slightly more paranoid checking of results from 'p4 change'
. Remove superfluous "-G"
. Don't modify the username if it is unchanged.
. Reword git-p4.txt to point out that the initial commit will
  be submitted with you as the author.
