[PATCH] git-p4: Improve client path detection when branches are used

From
Vitor Antunes <vitor.hda@gmail.com>

This patch makes the client path detection more robust by limiting the valid results from p4 where. The test case is also made more complex, to guarantee that such client views are supported.
