[PATCH] git-p4: Fix direct import from perforce after fetching changes through git from origin

From
Simon Hausmann <simon@lst.de>

When using an existing git repository to cache the perforce import we don't fetch the branch mapping from perforce as that is a slow operation. However the origin repository may not be fully up-to-date and therefore it may be necessary to import more changes directly from Perforce. Such a direct import needs self.knownBranches to be set up though, so initialize it from the existing p4/* git branches.
