My doubt is, even the files in p4 folder will be from git with no RCS keyword expanded. The patch application must ideally be clean! I am confused here. Hmm, regarding the p4 folder - I'm pretty sure git-p4 calls "p4 sync <depotpath>/..." in that folder before applying the patch. So those files are whatever p4 says they are - which is with keywords expanded... -TAL- -- 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
