Hi,

Sorry, forgot to reply-to-all, here is my response again:

Are you permanently converting a project, or are you planning to
continue submitting to perforce with git-p4?

I have seen similar bugs myself when using the --detect-branches
option. The branch detection in git-p4 is flaky anyway: it is limited
what it can handle, and it used to require correct perforce branch
specs at least, so I would recommend not using it unless you know what
it is doing under the hood.

Instead I would just clone a single branch at a time (drop the
--detect-branches) and work on that.

I do this even in the rare cases when I need more than one perforce
branch in the same git repo - there are other ways to achieve the same
thing.
