Can I use the P4 version control plugin from github?
I recently discovered what appears to be a Perforce version control plugin on Github.
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/VersionControlPlugins
It appears to be from Unity Tech but I am confused about it. It claims it is the code used for the built-in version control (which I don't believe even exists in 4.0). Is it intended to be used as a plugin? It compiles to a .exe and I am unsure how to get it working with a project. Anybody know what's going on here?
Yeah, just discovered that repository as well. If Unity 4 has Perforce support, it's so well hidden that I cannot find it ;)
Like natef said: what's going on here?

Reading on:
"Note that version control other than Asset Server is not supported per default in current releases of Unity. It is available as a preview feature in 4.x with team license though. You can enable the feature by putting an empty file called 'vcs.txt' in the root of your Unity project folder and restart Unity. This will make the menu "Window -> Asset Server" show the new version control window."
I did that, and now have Perforce stuff in my project. Not sure how complete it is yet, though...
Looks pretty complete. Settings, context menu, checkout, submit window, the lot.
Yes. Anyway, I think this question is now obsolete, since Unity's Perforce integration is officially in (and has been for some time now)

Yeah but you only get it if you have Team License which is a bit pricy when you have to buy it on top of a pro license. There's a pretty good p4 plugin on the asset store though called UnityP4.
Sorry, I meant the original question by natef is obsolete. But yes, you need to spend additional money for Perforce integration in Unity, unfortunately...
