From d88e707f17ddcf3f789ec7fb1eb33121cecdcd67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pete Wyckoff Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2011 08:17:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] git-p4: reinterpret confusing p4 message Error output will look like this: glom$ git p4 clone //deopt Importing from //deopt into . Reinitialized existing Git repository in /tmp/x/.git/ Doing initial import of //deopt from revision #head into refs/remotes/p4/master p4 returned an error: //deopt/... - must refer to client glom. This particular p4 error is misleading. Perhaps the depot path was misspelled.
