I debugged the issue using the script here:
    https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/git-p4.py
I'm not sure how close to the main repo that is.

On OS X,

Do you use the Git as provided from OS X? In that case you better report the bug
to Apple, as their version of Git is slightly different (not close on
upstream, by both
having additional patches as well as not following the upstream closely IIUC).

In that case, I have cc'd Luke and Lars, who work on p4

Which version of p4 are you using?

Your suggested fix looks plausible though. Possibly it needs both
chdirs() so that "p4 sync" will work if the caller is using a
.p4config file in the p4 client directory to set the P4CLIENT.

Thanks!
Luke
