Thanks for helping. Another area a new person struggles is to propose a good commit log message. I'd expect this change to be explained something like this: Subject: git-p4: tighten detection of view names The current "git p4" code expects that all keys starting with "View" are view names (i.e. "View0", "View1", etc.), but a Perforce client created using p4java gets an extra key "ViewDepotType", which is not something we want to be treated as a view key. Tighten the filter of keys to accept only string "View" followed by nothing but digits. Helped-by: Luke Diamand <luke@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: ... Note that I am not a Perforce person, so the phrase "view names" I used in the above may totally be wrong as P4-lingo, in which case please replace them with what is acceptable by our Perforce friends ;-) Thanks. >> ... >> > is_view = re.compile(r'^View\d+$') >> > view_keys = [ k for k in entry.keys() if is_view.match(k) ]
