Earlier the client spec filtering happened in "def streamP4Files(self, files)". I moved the code up to the caller of this function into "def commit(...)" which now calls "streamP4Files" with an already filtered file list.

I agree. @Luke: What option do you prefer? "git-p4.keepEmptyCommits" or "git-p4.ignoreEmptyCommits" ?
