Your patch looks fine, and harmless if symlinks continue to have \n on the end. I'd like to understand a bit why this behavior is different for you, though. Could you do this test on a symlink in your depot? Here //depot/symlink points to "symlink-target". You can see the \n in position 0o332 below. What happens on a symlink in your repo? arf-git-test$ p4 fstat //depot/symlink ... depotFile //depot/symlink ... clientFile /dev/shm/trash directory.t9802-git-p4-filetype/cli/symlink ... isMapped ... headAction add ... headType symlink ... headTime 1376221978 ... headRev 1 ... headChange 6 ... headModTime 1376221978 ... haveRev 1 arf-git-test$ p4 -G print //depot/symlink | od -c 0000000 { s 004 \0 \0 \0 c o d e s 004 \0 \0 \0 s 0000020 t a t s \t \0 \0 \0 d e p o t F i l 0000040 e s 017 \0 \0 \0 / / d e p o t / s y 0000060 m l i n k s 003 \0 \0 \0 r e v s 001 \0 0000100 \0 \0 1 s 006 \0 \0 \0 c h a n g e s 001 0000120 \0 \0 \0 6 s 006 \0 \0 \0 a c t i o n s 0000140 003 \0 \0 \0 a d d s 004 \0 \0 \0 t y p e 0000160 s \a \0 \0 \0 s y m l i n k s 004 \0 \0 0000200 \0 t i m e s \n \0 \0 \0 1 3 7 6 2 2 0000220 1 9 7 8 s \b \0 \0 \0 f i l e S i z 0000240 e s 002 \0 \0 \0 1 5 0 { s 004 \0 \0 \0 c 0000260 o d e s 006 \0 \0 \0 b i n a r y s 004 0000300 \0 \0 \0 d a t a s 017 \0 \0 \0 s y m l 0000320 i n k - t a r g e t \n 0 { s 004 \0 0000340 \0 \0 c o d e s 006 \0 \0 \0 b i n a r 0000360 y s 004 \0 \0 \0 d a t a s \0 \0 \0 \0 0 0000400 Also, what version is your server, from "p4 info": Server version: P4D/LINUX26X86_64/2013.1/610569 (2013/03/19) -- Pete > Signed-off-by: Alex Juncu <ajuncu@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Alex Badea <abadea@xxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > git-p4.py | 8 ++++++-- > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/git-p4.py b/git-p4.py > index 31e71ff..a53a6dc 100755 > --- a/git-p4.py > +++ b/git-p4.py > @@ -2180,9 +2180,13 @@ class P4Sync(Command, P4UserMap): > git_mode = "100755" > if type_base == "symlink": > git_mode = "120000" > - # p4 print on a symlink contains "target\n"; remove the newline > + # p4 print on a symlink sometimes contains "target\n"; > + # if it does, remove the newline > data = ''.join(contents) > - contents = [data[:-1]] > + if data[-1] == '\n': > + contents = [data[:-1]] > + else: > + contents = [data] > > if type_base == "utf16": > # p4 delivers different text in the python output to -G > -- > 1.8.4.rc0.1.g8f6a3e5 -- 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
