So,... what's the conclusion?  Should the log message be written
like this perhaps?

    t9801: check git-p4's branch detection and client spec together
    
    Add failing scenario where branch detection is enabled together
    with use of client spec.  In this specific scenario git-p4 will
    break when the perforce client spec removes part of the depot
    path.
    
    The test case also includes an extra sub-file mapping to enforce
    robustness check on git-p4 implementation.
