FWIW, these patches look good to me. I spent a while trying to understand exactly how perforce handles the keyword expansion stuff a few years ago. Other quirks which I can remember are: - Files with a filetype of "utf16" files get expanded before we see them. If we want to support that in git-p4 then I think some special handling will be required. - Lines longer than lbr.rcs.maxlen at time of commit are not considered to be keyword expansions. I don't think there is any way to handle this, but hopefully it won't ever occur in practice. I'm not suggesting that these issues need to be solved as part of this set of patches, just thought that you might want to be aware that there are some more unsolved issues here. Thanks
