[PATCH v2] git-p4: avoid syncing duplicate changes

When a particular changeset affects multiple depot paths, it will appear multiple times in the output of "p4 changes". Filter out the duplicates to avoid the extra empty commits that this otherwise would create.

Switched to a dictionary to avoid the quadratic behavior,
as pointed out by Simon.
