This has been a fun, educational HN thread. Thanks for sharing!

It's just not as easy as pushing to a dev branch in Git creating a patch with "git am" and emailing/copy-pasting to a pastebin or whatever. Thanks for sharing your point of view and making a very civilized discussion from obviously differing opinions :)

Branching still sucks in P4. But if it improves your work flow at all I figured it's worth mentioning.
