Yes, I do believe we are aware of each other's efforts. I had submitted an RFC patch set around the time Ben was preparing his own patchset. I have not reviewed Ben's first patchset as I did not feel that I understood the systems well enough at the time. I've briefly skimmed through Ben's latest iteration and it would appear the general approach is very similar, but there's more added abstractions and just general code change in his version. Regardless, I'm open to working together. Ideally, I would prefer we land something minimal and working in mainline soon, then further collaborate on changes that clean up code and enable more features. My end-game is to have P4 Streams working in git-p4, and maybe LFS-like support that uses p4 as the backend. It would be great to not be the only one spending effort in that direction. Yang
