In my instance, I don't have an account on the P4 server, so I'm going to
have to deal with this through P4's normal client.

I don't have much confidence that P4 really knows what it is doing when it
comes to integrate, so I'm not much worried about branches.  But, I do want
to accurately get the history of a particular branch.

So far, the only thing that isn't working is the execute bit doesn't get
set on files that should have it.
