Can you explain how to configure p4d to default everything to binary+l? Also, what version are you using ("p4 info")? I'm trying to write a test case for this. I did find a way to play with typemap to get +l, as: ( p4 typemap -o ; printf "\tbinary+l\t//.../bash*" ) | p4 typemap -i With this, the 2011.1 here just says: tic-git-test$ p4 opened bash //depot/bash#1 - add default change (binary+l) I've not been able to make it say " *exclusive*" too. > result = p4_read_pipe(["opened", wildcard_encode(file)]) > - match = re.match(".*\((.+)\)\r?$", result) > + match = re.match(".*\((.+)\)(?:.+)?\r?$", result) I think this whole function would be less brittle using p4's "-G" output, like: d = p4Cmd(["fstat", "-T", "type", wildcard_encode(file)]) # some error checking return d['type'] But I'm curious if your p4d includes " *exclusive*" in the type there too, in which case we'll have to strip it. Thanks for starting the patch on this. It's good if we can keep others from running into the same problem. -- Pete -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
