[PATCH v4] git-p4: Use -m when running p4 changes

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

 



Simply running "p4 changes" on a large branch can
result in a "too many rows scanned" error from the
Perforce server. It is better to use a sequence
of smaller calls to "p4 changes", using the "-m"
option to limit the size of each call.

Updated to avoid the crash Luke pointed out.
All t98* tests pass now except for t9814,
which is already failing on master for some reason.
