Teach git-p4 about the -/ option which adds depot paths to the exclude

Perforce syntax works, eg:
git p4 clone //branch/path/... -//branch/path/{large,old}/...
Trailing ... on exclude paths are optional.
This is a generalization of a change by Dmitry Kakurin (thanks).

I like it, Perforce'ish syntax. (Not that I like p4 though ;)
Alas, this change needs more work - the exclude paths needs to
be maintained in the commit messages as otherwise we pull in new
files in the excluded path. I haven't done this yet.
However, the other patch (git-p4: no longer keep all file contents while cloning)
is IMO critical. You simply cannot clone a non-trivial Perforce repository
without it. Why is this being ignored? Are there no users of git-p4?
