"git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside
the client spec as empty commits. It has been corrected to ignore
them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a
backward compatibility knob.

Perforce repositories can contain large (binary) files. Migrating these
repositories to Git generates very large local clones. External storage
systems such as Git LFS [1], Git Fat [2], Git Media [3], git-annex [4]
try to address this problem.
Add a generic mechanism to detect large files based on extension,
uncompressed size, and/or compressed size.

Perforce keeps the encoding of a path as given by the originating OS.
Git expects paths encoded as UTF-8. Add a config to tell git-p4 what
encoding Perforce had used for the paths. This encoding is used to
transcode the paths to UTF-8. As an example, Perforce on Windows often
uses “cp1252” to encode path names.

The clone subcommand has long had support for excluding
subdirectories, but sync has not. This is a nuisance,
since as soon as you do a sync, any changed files that
were initially excluded start showing up.
Move the "exclude" command-line option into the parent

For a clone or sync, --branch says where the newly imported
branch should go, or which existing branch to sync up. It
takes an argument, which is currently either something that
starts with "refs/", or if not, "refs/heads/p4" is prepended.
Putting it in heads seems like a bad default; these should
go in remotes/p4/ in most situations. Make that the new default,
and be more liberal in the form of the branch name.

The existing label import code looks at each commit being
imported, and then checks for labels at that commit. This
doesn't work in the real world though because it will drop
labels applied on changelists that have already been imported,
a common pattern.
This change adds a new --import-labels option. With this option,
at the end of the sync, git p4 gets sets of labels in p4 and git,
and then creates a git tag for each missing p4 label.
This means that tags created on older changelists are
still imported.
Tags that could not be imported are added to an ignore
list.
The same sets of git and p4 tags and labels can also be used to
derive a list of git tags to export to p4. This is enabled with
--export-labels in 'git p4 submit'.

RCS keywords cause problems for git-p4 as perforce always
expands them (if +k is set) and so when applying the patch,
git reports that the files have been modified by both sides,
when in fact they haven't.
This change means that when git-p4 detects a problem applying
a patch, it will check to see if keyword expansion could be
the culprit. If it is, it strips the keywords in the p4
repository so that they match what git is expecting. It then
has another go at applying the patch.
This behaviour is enabled with a new git-p4 configuration
option and is off by default.

Introduce new tests that look more closely at overlay situations
when there are conflicting files. Five of these are broken.
Document the brokenness.
This is a fundamental problem with how git-p4 only "borrows" a
client spec. At some sync operation, a new change can contain
a file which is already in the repo or explicitly deleted through
another mapping. To sort this out would involve listing all the
files in the client spec to find one with a higher priority.
While this is not too hard for the initial import, subsequent
sync operations would be very costly.

2. Conflicting files are silently ignored---the last change
