To reproduce the entire p4 history in Git, use the '@all' modifier on
the depot path:
$ git p4 submit --update-shelve 1234 --update-shelve 2345

+Unshelve
+~~~~~~~~
+Unshelving will take a shelved P4 changelist, and produce the equivalent git commit
+in the branch refs/remotes/p4-unshelved/<changelist>.
+
+The git commit is created relative to the current origin revision (HEAD by default).
+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
+be renamed.

+$ git p4 sync
+$ git p4 unshelve 12345
+$ git show p4-unshelved/12345
+<submit more changes via p4 to the same files>
+$ git p4 unshelve 12345

OPTIONS

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.
--import-labels::
Import p4 labels.
+Unshelve options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+--origin::
+ Sets the git refspec against which the shelved P4 changelist is compared.
+ Defaults to p4/master.
