To reproduce the entire p4 history in Git, use the '@all' modifier on
the depot path:
$ git p4 submit topicbranch

+To specify a single commit or a range of commits, use:

The upstream reference is generally 'refs/remotes/p4/master', but can
be overridden using the `--origin=` command-line option.
Unshelve
~~~~~~~~
Unshelving will take a shelved P4 changelist, and produce the equivalent git commit
-in the branch refs/remotes/p4/unshelved/<changelist>.
+in the branch refs/remotes/p4-unshelved/<changelist>.
The git commit is created relative to the current origin revision (HEAD by default).
-If the shelved changelist's parent revisions differ, git-p4 will refuse to unshelve;
-you need to be unshelving onto an equivalent tree.
+A parent commit is created based on the origin, and then the unshelve commit is
+created based on that.
The origin revision can be changed with the "--origin" option.
-If the target branch in refs/remotes/p4/unshelved already exists, the old one will
+If the target branch in refs/remotes/p4-unshelved already exists, the old one will
be renamed.

information.
+--commit <sha1>|<sha1..sha1>::
+ Submit only the specified commit or range of commits, instead of the full
+ list of changes that are in the current Git branch.
+
+--disable-rebase::
+ Disable the automatic rebase after all commits have been successfully
+ submitted. Can also be set with git-p4.disableRebase.
+
+--disable-p4sync::
+ Disable the automatic sync of p4/master from Perforce after commits have
+ been submitted. Implies --disable-rebase. Can also be set with
+ git-p4.disableP4Sync. Sync with origin/master still goes ahead if possible.
+
+Hook for submit
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The `p4-pre-submit` hook is executed if it exists and is executable.
+The hook takes no parameters and nothing from standard input. Exiting with
+non-zero status from this script prevents `git-p4 submit` from launching.
+
+One usage scenario is to run unit tests in the hook.
+
Rebase options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These options can be used to modify 'git p4 rebase' behavior.
Specify submit behavior when a conflict with p4 is found, as per
--conflict. The default behavior is 'ask'.
+git-p4.disableRebase::
+ Do not rebase the tree against p4/master following a submit.
+
+git-p4.disableP4Sync::
+ Do not sync p4/master with Perforce following a submit. Implies git-p4.disableRebase.
+
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
----------------------
* Changesets from p4 are imported using Git fast-import.
