Hi Neil,

I am using your C4 program to import code from CVS projects we work 
on into our Perforce depot. This allows me to branch the code across 
to my regular Perforce tree's so I can work on all Open Source 
projects I contribute to using Perforce instead of CVS. 

However the 'c4 import' command always imports all files below the 
current directory, including all of the CVS special files. In order 
to fix this before I do a check-in I run the attached 'revert_cvs' 
script to remove all of the CVS special files before I submit the 
change.

So I was wondering how difficult it would be to add support to c4 so 
that I can pass it a command line option so it will ignore all the 
CVS special files. Would that be easy to do? Is that something that 
you have perhaps already done in a newer version? I haven't taken a 
look at the c4 source code myself as I haven't had time, but if you 
think it would be easy to add this I will take a look if you could 
guide in the in the right direction.

Regards,

Question on c4:

Do you still maintain it? If so I think I found an
issue.  I have files mixed on NT and Linux.  I
discovered that files created in p4 that have spaces
in the filename are not being processed as desired,
but being reported as two seperate files or more
depending on the name and spaces in the filename.

Do you have a patch or another version for me to try? 
I am still evaluating p4 and like it so far, but
distributed development (and mobile) needs your type
of tool to work offline.

So far I think your utility (c4 1.6) addresses many of
my issues.  Thanks for your hard work.

Later,
Dave

*  Should add prune command to c4.

	(was saving from photoshop using vmware)
*  c4 scan doesn't find files that are branched and edited:
	c4 integ a b
	vi b
	c4 scan

*  Consider having environment variables override the .c4 file.  In the case
   where I was working remotely, I wanted to change the P4PORT temporarily.

*  Somehow prevent the ignore target "core" from finding a directory called
   "core", but still find a file called "core".

*  Add something to 'c4 scan' that says that there are updates available.
   This can prompt me to run 'c4diffhead'.
