they can find the p4 branches in refs/heads.
--max-changes <n>::
- Limit the number of imported changes to 'n'. Useful to
- limit the amount of history when using the '@all' p4 revision
- specifier.
+ Import at most 'n' changes, rather than the entire range of
+ changes included in the given revision specifier. A typical
+ usage would be use '@all' as the revision specifier, but then
+ to use '--max-changes 1000' to import only the last 1000
+ revisions rather than the entire revision history.
+
+--changes-block-size <n>::
+ The internal block size to use when converting a revision
+ specifier such as '@all' into a list of specific change
+ numbers. Instead of using a single call to 'p4 changes' to
+ find the full list of changes for the conversion, there are a
+ sequence of calls to 'p4 changes -m', each of which requests
+ one block of changes of the given size. The default block size
+ is 500, which should usually be suitable.
--keep-path::
The mapping of file names from the p4 depot path to Git, by
option '--use-client-spec'. See the "CLIENT SPEC" section above.
This variable is a boolean, not the name of a p4 client.
+git-p4.pathEncoding::
+ Perforce keeps the encoding of a path as given by the originating OS.
+ Git expects paths encoded as UTF-8. Use this config to tell git-p4
+ what encoding Perforce had used for the paths. This encoding is used
+ to transcode the paths to UTF-8. As an example, Perforce on Windows
+ often uses “cp1252” to encode path names.
+
+git-p4.largeFileSystem::
+ Specify the system that is used for large (binary) files. Please note
+ that large file systems do not support the 'git p4 submit' command.
+ Only Git LFS [1] is implemented right now. Download
+ and install the Git LFS command line extension to use this option
+ and configure it like this:
++
+-------------
+git config git-p4.largeFileSystem GitLFS
+-------------
++
+ [1] https://git-lfs.github.com/
+
+git-p4.largeFileExtensions::
+ All files matching a file extension in the list will be processed
+ by the large file system. Do not prefix the extensions with '.'.
+
+git-p4.largeFileThreshold::
+ All files with an uncompressed size exceeding the threshold will be
+ processed by the large file system. By default the threshold is
+ defined in bytes. Add the suffix k, m, or g to change the unit.
+
+git-p4.largeFileCompressedThreshold::
+ All files with a compressed size exceeding the threshold will be
+ processed by the large file system. This option might slow down
+ your clone/sync process. By default the threshold is defined in
+ bytes. Add the suffix k, m, or g to change the unit.
+
+git-p4.largeFilePush::
+ Boolean variable which defines if large files are automatically
+ pushed to a server.
