Sync options
These options can be used in the initial 'clone' as well as in
subsequent 'sync' operations.
---branch <branch>::
- Import changes into given branch. If the branch starts with
- 'refs/', it will be used as is. Otherwise if it does not start
- with 'p4/', that prefix is added. The branch is assumed to
- name a remote tracking, but this can be modified using
- '--import-local', or by giving a full ref name. The default
- branch is 'master'.
+--branch <ref>::
+ Import changes into <ref> instead of refs/remotes/p4/master.
+ If <ref> starts with refs/, it is used as is. Otherwise, if
+ it does not start with p4/, that prefix is added.
++
+By default a <ref> not starting with refs/ is treated as the
+name of a remote-tracking branch (under refs/remotes/). This
+behavior can be modified using the --import-local option.
++
+The default <ref> is "master".

This example imports a new remote "p4/proj2" into an existing
Git repository:
Export tags from Git as p4 labels. Tags found in Git are applied
to the perforce working directory.
---dry-run, -n::

+--dry-run::
Show just what commits would be submitted to p4; do not change
state in Git or p4.
