Trouble importing all perforce branches into git repo

I'm trying to import a project from my company's Perforce depot into a git repository. I've been successful getting a single branch into a single git repo, but what I'd like to do is to pull in the entire project plus all branches, but I can't get it working correctly.

I have my .p4settings file:

P4PORT=perforce-server.local:1666
P4USER=my.username
P4CLIENT=my.clientspec.name

Clientspec is fairly simple:

//project/... //my.clientspec.name/project/...
-//project/External/... //my.clientspec.name/project/External/...

The second line is to exclude the external library binaries from the checkout.

I use the following command line to start git-p4 importing:

git p4 clone --verbose --detect-branches --max-changes=100 //project/...@all

This goes through and checks all the branch names, etc, and attempts to import starting at the first commit (This particular projects begins at changelist 771)

Importing from //project/...@all into project
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/grant/Development/git_test/project/.git/
Reading pipe: git config git-p4.useclientspec

p4 -G branch -o branch-1

Reading pipe: git config --bool core.ignorecase
p4 -G branch -o branch-2
...
Opening pipe: p4 -G branch -o branch-n
p4-git branches: []
initial parents: {}

I'm not sure if p4-git branches, and initial parents are supposed to be empty here, but they are.

Finally we get to the point where it's about to start importing changelists into git and the following happens:

Getting p4 changes for //project/...
p4 changes //project/...
Reading pipe: p4 changes //project/...
p4 -G describe 771

Now, being a perforce novice, I have no idea what this means and have no idea how to resolve this issue, or if its even possible. Has anyone run into a similar issue before? If so, how did you resolve it?


I've finally figured out the solution to this problem. It turns out that a Perforce branch mapping was done in reverse and that was the source of this problem.

Branch-foo was branched off of MAIN, which should have a branch mapping like so:

//project/MAIN/... //project/Branch-foo/...

However, the person who created the branch, reversed the mapping, thus resulting in this:

//project/Branch-foo/... //project/MAIN/...

This confused git-p4 as MAIN had the first changelists starting at #771 and Branch-foo had changelists starting at #7652, thus it couldn't find any parent in Branch-foo and crashed. Changing the branch spec to the first one listed above fixed the probblem.
