$ P4CLIENT=xexe1 git p4 submit
Error: Cannot locate perforce checkout of //xxx/yyy/ in client view

After some playing around with git-p4 script and adding debugging
printing I realized, that the solution is to do

$ P4CLIENT=xexe1 git p4 clone //xxx/yyy/zzz@all ~/xexe1
instead of just
$ P4CLIENT=xexe1 git p4 clone //xxx/yyy@all ~/xexe1

After that "git-p4 submit" started to work.

I still don't understand p4 enough in order to know why it's happening,
but now at least I can clone+change+rebase+submit files into the
perforce repository with git-p4, which is great.

Luke, Pete: thanks a lot for your help and patience!

So - what is a p4 stream? I found some blurb on the Perforce website but 
I was none the wiser after reading it.

Thanks!
Luke
