From 788001908c8960daa162c32baf3dc0f9ad1c16f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Lamb Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 20:58:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] git-p4: input to "p4 files" by stdin instead of arguments This approach, suggested by Alex Riesen, bypasses the need for xargs-style argument list handling. The handling in question looks broken in a corner case with SC_ARG_MAX=4096 and final argument over 96 characters.
