Simply running "p4 changes" on a large branch can
result in a "too many rows scanned" error from the
Perforce server. It is better to use a sequence
of smaller calls to "p4 changes", using the "-m"
option to limit the size of each call.

Updated to avoid the crash Luke pointed out.
All t98* tests pass now except for t9814,
which is already failing on master for some reason.

--max-changes <n>::
- Limit the number of imported changes to 'n'. Useful to
- limit the amount of history when using the '@all' p4 revision
- specifier.
+ Import at most 'n' changes, rather than the entire range of
+ changes included in the given revision specifier. A typical
+ usage would be use '@all' as the revision specifier, but then

+ The internal block size to use when converting a revision
+ specifier such as '@all' into a list of specific change

+ find the full list of changes for the conversion, there are a
+ sequence of calls to 'p4 changes -m', each of which requests
+ one block of changes of the given size. The default block size
