From a93d33ee7bf2f1cd41f94470e9e44e0fc9307046 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pete Wyckoff Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2012 20:06:24 -0500 Subject: git-p4: set useClientSpec variable on initial clone If --use-client-spec was given, set the matching configuration variable. This is necessary to ensure that future submits work properly. The alternatives of requiring the user to set it, or providing a command-line option on every submit, are error prone.
