Subject: [PATCH] Obey p4 views when using client spec

From: Ian Wienand <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 16:33:48 -0800

When using the p4 client spec, this attempts to obey the client's
output preferences.

For example, a view like

//depot/foo/branch/... //client/branch/foo/...
//depot/bar/branch/... //client/branch/bar/...

will result in a directory layout in the git tree of

branch/
branch/foo
branch/bar

p4 can do various other reordering that this change doesn't support,
but we should detect it and at least fail nicely.

+The P4CLIENT environment variable should be correctly set for p4 to be
+able to find the relevant client.  This client spec will be used to
+both filter the files cloned by git and set the directory layout as
+specified in the client (this implies --keep-path style semantics).
