Perforce does not strictly require the usage of branch specifications to create
branches. In these cases the branch detection code of git-p4 will not be able to
import them.
This patch adds support for git-p4.branchList configuration option, allowing
branches to be defined in git config.

All branches in the Perforce server are downloaded to allow branch detection. If
you have a centralized server on a remote location and there is a big number of
branches this operation can take some time.
This patch adds the configuration option git-p4.branchUser to allow filtering
the branch list by user. Although this limits the branch maintenance in Perforce
to be done by a single user, it might be an advantage when the number of
branches being used in a specific depot is very small when compared with the
branches available in the server.

When branch detection is enabled each branch is named in git after their
relative depot path in Perforce. To do this the depot paths are compared against
each other to find their common base path. The current algorithm makes this
comparison on a character by character basis.
Assuming we have the following branches:
//depot/branches/featureA
//depot/branches/featureB
Then the base depot path would be //depot/branches/feature, which is an invalid
depot path.
The current patch fixes this by splitting the path into a list and comparing the
list entries, making it choose correctly //depot/branches as the base path.

Copy and rename detection arguments (-C and -M) allow setting a threshold value
for the similarity ratio. If the similarity is below this threshold the rename
or copy is ignored and the file is added as new.
This patch allows setting git-p4.detectRenames and git-p4.detectCopies options
to an integer value to set the respective threshold.

Patches from git passed into p4 end up with the committer being identified
as the person who ran git-p4.
With "submit --preserve-user", git-p4 modifies the p4 changelist (after it
has been submitted), setting the p4 author field.
The submitter is required to have sufficient p4 permissions or git-p4

configuration that exists on the machine of the user who added the file.
What does that mean? It means that when Alice adds a file

//depot/dirA/FileB.txt

There are four wildcard characters in p4. Files with these
characters can be added to p4 repos using the "-f" option.
They are stored in %xx notation, and when checked out, p4
converts them back to normal.

converting the four special characters. Without this change,
the files appear with literal %xx in their names.

Change the Perl scripts to turn on lexical warnings instead of setting
the global $^W variable via the -w switch.
The -w sets warnings for all code that interpreter runs, while "use
warnings" is lexically scoped. The former is probably not what the
authors wanted.
As an auxiliary benefit it's now possible to build Git with:
