Re: git-p4 package in contrib, how to proceed?

[Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org>]

Hi!

(Resurrecting ancient thread)

Has this moved on any further? I couldn't see any sign that there's
now a git-p4 package, or any discussion saying that it can't go ahead
for some other reason. Has it just been forgotten about?

Thanks
Luke
