I think I just figured out the problem.  The branch mapping between

Did you get it working so that the branch integrates at Perforce show up as
merges in git? I have been trying to do this for tens of hours now and just
can't get it working.. I have tried making the branch mapping both ways, and
even both at the same time but with no success.

I have succesfully imported the two testing branches to git, but if I look
at it in gitk for example, the history is linear and there are no merges
from the other branch (it shows up as a normal commit, without the parent
from other branch, just adding all lines that the merging did). in p4v it
shows up as it should!
