This is the same as my earlier patch other than fixing the
documentation to reflect the change to the destination branch,
as noticed by Junio.

Luke Diamand (3):
  git-p4: do not fail in verbose mode for missing 'fileSize' key
  git-p4: unshelve into refs/remotes/p4-unshelved, not
    refs/remotes/p4/unshelved
  git-p4: fully support unshelving changelists

If deleting or moving a file, sometimes P4 doesn't report the file size.

The code handles this just fine but some logging crashes. Stop this
happening.

There was some earlier discussion on the list about this:

The branch detection code looks for branches under refs/remotes/p4/...
and can end up getting confused if there are unshelved changes in
there as well. This happens in the function p4BranchesInGit().

Instead, put the unshelved changes into refs/remotes/p4-unshelved/<N>.

The previous git-p4 unshelve support would check for changes
in Perforce to the files being unshelved since the original
shelve, and would complain if any were found.

This was to ensure that the user wouldn't end up with both the
shelved change delta, and some deltas from other changes in their
git commit.

e.g. given fileA:
      the
      quick
      brown
      fox

  change1: s/the/The/   <- p4 shelve this change
  change2: s/fox/Fox/   <- p4 submit this change
  git p4 unshelve 1     <- FAIL

This change teaches the P4Unshelve class to always create a parent
commit which matches the P4 tree (for the files being unshelved) at
the point prior to the P4 shelve being created (which is reported
in the p4 description for a shelved changelist).

That then means git-p4 can always create a git commit matching the
P4 shelve that was originally created, without any extra deltas.

The user might still need to use the --origin option though - there
is no way for git-p4 to work out the versions of all of the other
*unchanged* files in the shelve, since this information is not recorded
by Perforce.

Additionally this fixes handling of shelved 'move' operations.

Also you set up when-finished driver for clean-up before running
clone, which I think is a good change, too.

Will replace.  Thanks.

At the moment the parent commit file revisions are constructed by
p4-printing the relevant files at the required version. That's because
it's easy to do - I can just make use of the existing infrastructure
for grabbing P4 changes.

However, in most cases we will already have these files present in the
git repo - it's just that we don't know where. I think it ought to be
possible to look at the revisions of each file, and then search
through the git revision history for that file to find the magic
comment marker that git-p4 inserts (which has the P4 changelist
embedded in it) and then use that - rather than going back to the
Perforce depot.

In most cases that ought to be quite a bit faster, especially for large files.

For now I'm not proposing to do this as it's quite a bit more work
(this isn't really my day job!) and for the typical use case (at least
the ones I encounter) the performance of unshelving isn't really that
important - the fact that it does it at all is quite amazing.

But anyway, if someone somewhere finds that git-p4 unshelve
performance is too slow, then that's the change to make.

Luke
