To simplify things, why not just update ref during submit from bare
repository? As you have pointed out, if user invokes submit in this
context he/she actually wants to submit from bare repo and probably
knows what he/she is doing - especially if he/she reads man page. (-:

Will it do something sensible if anything goes wrong?

I'm thinking about what happens if you submit and one of the commits
fails to go to P4 due to a merge conflict.

Handling failures in this case is a bit tricky, indeed.

But I guess just doing an update-ref could be an OK thing to do.
Without actually trying it out for real though I can't be sure. It
might make sense to get some practical experience of how this works
out.

True. For now I have these cases covered by wrapper scripts. The minimum
I need from git-p4 is just not to fail on git submit from bare
repository which is covered by patch I have submitted. If I get my
solution enough testing, I'd think of transforming it into patch for
git-p4.py as well.
