Re: [PATCH 0/2] git-p4: fix for handling of multiple depot paths

[Sam Hocevar <sam@hocevar.net>]

   I'm actually surprised that the patch changes the order at all, since
all it does is affect the decision (on a yes/no basis) to include a given
file into a changelist. I'm going to have a look at that specific unit
test, but of course as a user I'd prefer if the default behaviour could
remain the same, unless it was actually a bug.
