Sorry for not replying earlier, and thanks for taking the time to
investigate this!
It's a pretty subtle corner case: I think a test case would be useful.
I'm going to try to put something together, unless you beat me to it!
(I think t9811-git-p4-label-import.sh is the one that needs extending).
Thanks!

Hi,
I have an issue with the git p4 tooling regarding import of labels.
My git version is 2.4.5
I try to transform a perforce repository. My command line is:
git p4 clone --verbose --detect-branches --import-local --import-labels --destination <DESTINATION> //depot@all
The relevant parts in the gitconfig is:
[git-p4]
branchUser = <USERNAME>
For that user there is a branch mapping defined with a lot of entries like:
//depot/trunk/... //depot/branches/ipro-status-8-2--branch/...
//depot/trunk/... //depot/branches/9-0-preview/...
//depot/trunk/... //depot/branches/release-8-0-0-branch/...
//depot/trunk/... //depot/branches/release-8-1-0-branch/...
//depot/trunk/... //depot/branches/release-8-2-0-branch/...
//depot/trunk/... //depot/branches/release-8-3-0-branch/...
//depot/trunk/... //depot/branches/release-8-4-branch/...
//depot/trunk/... //depot/branches/release-8-5-branch/...
...
The import fails with the log output that can be found at the bottom of this mail.
git log -all -grep "\[git-p4:.*change\ =\ 69035\]" reports nothing. The commit is not contained in the git repository.
p4 describe for changelist 69035 returns a reasonable result. This change contains one file located at a path in the perforce folder structure that comes without corresponding entry in the perforce branch mapping.
According to the given branch mapping it looks reasonable to me that the change is omitted in the git repository. But in my opinion the import should not fail in such a case.
A reasonable behavior would be to blacklist the label (add it to git-p4.ignoredP4Labels) and to continue with the next label.
Attached is a proposal for a fix that needs to be carefully reviews since I'm not that experienced with python.
Other proposals for resolving this issue are highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Marcus Holl
