So, I have to keep two copies of source tree at my home directory. One is for Perforce build_scripts workspace, another is for Git build_scripts.git. I normally work at build_scripts.git. But, when I need to submit changes to Perforce, I have to copy changed code from build_scripts.git to build_scripts. Then, p4 submit code into Perforce. Is this the only way of using git-p4? Note: I cannot use git-p4 submit at build_scripts. It claims "Cannot clobber writable file". Is it a bug of git-p4 or the instruction is not correct? --- On Tue, 12/2/08, Jing Xue <jingxue@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Jing Xue <jingxue@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: git-p4 submit, Can't clobber writable file > To: "Gary Yang" <garyyang6@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 7:07 PM > On Tue, Dec 02, 2008 at 02:30:51PM -0800, Gary Yang wrote: > > > > I followed the instructions at > http://modular.math.washington.edu/home/mhansen/git-1.5.5.1/contrib/fast-import/git-p4.txt > > > > But, I am not able to git-p4 submit.
