To find out which is its parent the commit of the new branch is compared
sequentially to each blob of the parent branch from the newest to the
oldest. The first blob which results in a zero diff is considered the
parent commit. If none is found, then the commit is applied to the top
of the parent branch.
A fast-import "checkpoint" call is required because diff-tree is only
able to work with blobs on disk. But most of these commits will not be
part of the final imported tree, making fast-import fail. To avoid this,
the temporary branches are tracked and then removed at the end of the
import process.

P4 only looks at the environment variable $PWD to figure out
where it is, so chdir() has code to set that every time. But
when the clone --destination is not an absolute path, PWD will
not be absolute and P4 won't be able to find any files expected
to be in the current directory. Fix this by expanding PWD to
an absolute path.
One place this crops up is when using a P4CONFIG environment
variable to specify P4 parameters, such as P4USER or P4PORT.
Setting P4CONFIG=.p4config works for p4 invocations from the
current directory. But if the value of PWD is not absolute, it
fails.

git-p4 used to simply pass strings into system() and popen(), and
relied on the shell doing the necessary expansion. This though meant
that shell metacharacters in file names would be corrupted - for
example files with $ or space in them.
Switch to using subprocess.Popen() and friends, and pass in explicit
arrays in the places where it matters. This then avoids needing shell
expansion.

The previous code was approximate in the filetypes it recognized.
Put in the canonical list and be more careful about matching
elements of the file type.
This might change behavior in some cases, hopefully for the
better. Windows newline mangling will now happen on all
text files. Previously some like "text+ko" were oddly exempt.
Files with multiple combinations of modifiers, like "text+klx",
are now recognized for keyword expansion. I expect these to be
seen only rarely.

Join the text before looking for keywords. There is nothing to
prevent the p4 output marshaller from splitting in the middle of a
keyword, although it has never been known to happen.
Also remove the (?i) regexp modifier; perforce keywords are
documented as case-sensitive.
Remove the "\n" end-character match. I don't know why that is
in there, and every keyword in a fairly large production p4 repository

One of the filetypes that p4 supports is utf16. Its behavior is
odd in this case. The data delivered through "p4 -G print" is
not encoded in utf16, although "p4 print -o" will produce the
proper utf16-encoded file.
When dealing with this filetype, discard the data from -G, and
instead read the contents directly.
An alternate approach would be to try to encode the data in
python. That worked for true utf16 files, but for other files
marked as utf16, p4 delivers mangled text in no recognizable encoding.
Add a test case to check utf16 handling, and +k and +ko handling.

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.
