Message-ID: <3AF133FE.30231.23E9E9F7@localhost> Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12c) Status: RO Content-Length: 2251 Lines: 57 --Message-Boundary-15230 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-description: Mail message body 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.

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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

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'.
