Hmm, odd. The only thing I can think of is that maybe you have the 
client spec set up correctly, but you never initially checked out the 
sources into C:\p4 ?
Try to run
     cd /D C:\ && p4 sync -f ...
manually, and then see if you're able to 'git p4 submit'.

Oh, and why is Perforce reporting
     Path 'c:/tmp/p42/main\...' is not under client's root 'c:\p4'.
It seems to me that you're still using the Cygwin version of Perforce, 
is this correct? If so, ensure that you're only using the native 
version. And please try to remove the Cygwin directories from your PATH 
environment variable, so we're sure that Cygwin isn't messing with us 
to. MSys (which the Git Windows port uses) and Cygwin are not that 
compatible.
