Vitor,
The "Branch-foo" that git-p4 is crashing on does have a branchspec in Perforce. I cannot, however guarantee that branchspecs were correctly created and used for all integrates in the repository. It was created long before I started working here. Is there a way to limit --detect-branches to only certain branches that I can ensure do have branchspecs?
