When syncing, git-p4 will only download files that are included in the active
perforce client spec. This does not change the default behaviour - it requires
that the user either supplies the command line argument --use-client-spec, or
sets the git config option p4.useclientspec to "true".

This is something I use personally to help reduce the size downloaded when
cloning and syncing, as the Perforce depot i normally use is littered with
changelists that are much bigger than they should (and thus contain both
interesting and uninteresting files). I thought it might be of use to other
people too.
Note that this is my first attempt at git-related hacking (and that I am also a
Python novice), so it may very well need some tuning/fixing before it is any
good.
