This isn't the --detect-branches code path, as far as I can tell.
Line 2618, importChanges, is the not-detect case.  But either
way, I suspect that p4 returns results we weren't expecting, and
this is just the symptom of that problem.

I've seen this before at our site.  If you search for "librarian
checout" you'll see lots of messages suggesting there's some sort
of problem with the p4 server.

I'm going to work on a patch to git-p4 to make it print a more
useful diagnostic in the case of your error above.  Can you
make this problem occur reliably?
