One of the files in our repository was renamed while still in Git, but the rename only consisted of a case change of a character in the name. Now, on an OS X box with a case insensitive file system (not sure if that matters), one of our guys cloned from perforce with Git p4 and used @all to get all history. When this operation is finished, the file name is in its original state, not the newer renamed state. Perforce doesn't respect that file as being in the repository. We noticed this after making a local Git commit and upon issuing a Git p4 submit, things go haywire with "file(s) not opened on this client" and nothing getting submitted.
