OK; I'll leave that for later a day (Cc'ed Eric but stakeholders of other Python scripts may want to express their opinions), and will apply this patch as is. If we end up deciding to rip out the "prerequisite per file", that will be a tree-wide change that is independent from your patch we are discussing in this thread. If we end up not doing that, then we would instead be updating git-p4.py to set a higher floor to the prerequiste but that can come as a separate patch.
