My p4 repository has a structure similar to:
//depot/project/branch1
//depot/project/branch2
//depot/project/branch3
... etc
However, when I use git-p4
to clone "project", all 3 branches are not considered as branches and all get cloned into the single master branch.
This is how I'm invoking git-p4
:
git-p4 clone --detect-branches //depot/project
I was expecting git-p4
to create a git database for "project
" with three branches, and the root of the project would be mapped to the portion of the path after the branch name (for example: if //depot/project/branch1
has a subdirectory called "lib
" (//depot/project/branch1/lib
) then my local file system should be something like /git_project/lib
with 3 git branches).
Is what I'm expecting wrong? Am I invoking git-p4
incorrectly?
