hi!
I am using git-p4.py to migrate a lot of medium and large Perforce
depots into git. I almost exclusively go one way: from Perforce to
git. I also frequently re-clone/re-migrate as the Perforce migration
client spec is refined.
For this, I have added rudimentary caching in git-p4.py so that
Perforce requests are not repeated over the network.
I have it working and tested on a ~150MB repo and the migration time was halved.
Is this something that would be of interest to the larger community?

Martin implemented an on disk cache and "requests not repeated" applies
mostly for re-migrations. Re-migrations are multiple test migrations ("git-p4 clone")
with minor client spec changes until we find the right client spec for the
production migration.

I like the idea!
Disclaimer: I work together with Martin on the P4 -> Git migrations :-)
Cheers,
