Thank you, Marius for detailed instructions!
Now everything except submitting back to perforce works like a charm.
Perforce complains about git-p4 checkout is not under it's root
Synchronizing p4 checkout...
executing p4 sync ...
Path 'c:/tmp/p42/main\...' is not under client's root 'c:\p4'.
if I move checkout under perforce root git-p4 unable to create patch.
Have you encounter such errors?
Thank you!
