Ah, sorry, I did not see this part of the error message when I first
replied. This does seem like a cygwin related problem. Not sure how
easy it is to solve. But as mentioned, msysgit works fine with git-p4.

Thanks! with msysgit it works a lot better. The 'vi' invocation failed during the submit, and I tried just about every EDITOR variation that I could think of without success, but I could workround that by setting EDITOR to use the Windows notepad.exe instead.
