If --use-client-spec was given, set the matching configuration
variable. This is necessary to ensure that future submits
work properly.
The alternatives of requiring the user to set it, or providing
a command-line option on every submit, are error prone.

RCS keywords cause problems for git-p4 as perforce always
expands them (if +k is set) and so when applying the patch,
git reports that the files have been modified by both sides,
when in fact they haven't.
This change means that when git-p4 detects a problem applying
a patch, it will check to see if keyword expansion could be
the culprit. If it is, it strips the keywords in the p4
repository so that they match what git is expecting. It then
has another go at applying the patch.
This behaviour is enabled with a new git-p4 configuration
option and is off by default.

Introduce new tests that look more closely at overlay situations
when there are conflicting files. Five of these are broken.
Document the brokenness.
This is a fundamental problem with how git-p4 only "borrows" a
client spec. At some sync operation, a new change can contain
a file which is already in the repo or explicitly deleted through
another mapping. To sort this out would involve listing all the
files in the client spec to find one with a higher priority.
While this is not too hard for the initial import, subsequent
sync operations would be very costly.

Clarify there is a -M option, but no -C. These are both
configurable through variables.
Explain that the allowSubmit variable takes a comma-separated
list of branch names.
Catch earlier an invalid branch name given as an argument to
"git p4 clone".
Test option --origin, variable allowSubmit, and explicit master
branch name.

The depot path is required, even with this option. Make sure
git-p4 fails and exits with non-zero.
Contents in the specified depot path will be rearranged according
to the client spec. Test this and add a note in the docs.
Leave an XXX suggesting that this is somewhat confusing behavior
that might be good to fix later.
Function stripRepoPath() looks at self.useClientSpec. Make sure
this is set both for command-line option --use-client-spec and
for configuration variable git-p4.useClientSpec. Test this.

Explain that it is needed on future syncs to find p4 branches
in refs/heads. Test this behavior.

Clone with --branch will not checkout HEAD, unless the branch
happens to be called the default refs/remotes/p4/master. The
--branch option is most useful with sync; give an example of
that.

Document how git-p4 currently works when specifying multiple
depot paths:
1. No branches or directories are named.
2. Conflicting files are silently ignored---the last change
wins.
2. Option --destination is required, else the last path is construed
to be a directory.
3. Revision specifiers must be the same on all paths for them to
take effect.
Test this behavior.

Add proper documentation for git-p4. Delete the old .txt
documentation from contrib/fast-import.
