Re: git p4 clone not processing branches properly

Hi,

I tried without spec, but then it tried importing everything, even
though there was a .gitignore and a .git/config/exclude file.
Then, it crashed during the importation because it could find an old
branch (I don't have access to everything on the repository), so I
tried importing just the recent past, but then it failed because it
identified a branch names Branch/Main/src...
It is starting to feel as if I will have to compromise between
something that works but without branches and without the proper names
(the files are named Project/Branch/Main/...) or having the proper
names, but with all binaries, bogus branches...
I know it is not due to git, it is mainly that Perforce and git have
very different workflows. Or perhaps with any luck, the server is up
to date, and I can find a way of using Perforce's bridge.

Thanks,

Matthieu
