Oh, I am with you. However, I only used git-p4 for a very short time in the way you want to use it. Therefore, I don't have much experience in that kind of usage pattern. I was able to convice my management to move all source to Git and I used git-p4 to migrate the repositories ;-) Here is a talk on the topic if you want to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNixDNtwYJ0 Cheers, Lars
