I've used git-p4 for many years, and have always had to work around
the limitation of the "apple" filetype and the resulting lack of files
added to the git repo.

Of course, I'd love to have git-p4 work seamlessly for this scenario.
Even Perforce have a KB article on the limitation of the "apple"
filetype with git-p4:

  http://kb.perforce.com/article/1417/git-p4

At least with 97a21ca50ef8 reverted, there is a warning that files
will be missing. The current behaviour results in a git repo with
unusable files without any warning whatsoever. I think having unusable
files, and without warnings, is worse as there is no indication that
there is a problem with files in the working tree.
