In attempting to use the git-p4 plugin I ran into an issue when the host
argument was specified using the -h argument instead of the -H argument
for the host. As a result, I found that instead of git-p4 specifying a
host, it gets help information. Correcting this issue allowed me to
clone without issue. I've attached a patch of what I did to fix the
issue if this is indeed believed to be an issue.
Thanks,
Russell

Subject: [PATCH] Changing host argument to -H from -h. Based on
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4guide/03_using.html
'-H' is the apporpriate flag while '-h' is a flag passed
for help content.
