In attempting to use the git-p4 plugin I ran into an issue when the host argument was specified using the -h argument instead of the -H argument for the host. As a result, I found that instead of git-p4 specifying a host, it gets help information. Correcting this issue allowed me to clone without issue. I've attached a patch of what I did to fix the issue if this is indeed believed to be an issue.

Thanks,
Russell

Subject: [PATCH] Changing host argument to -H from -h. Based on
 http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/p4guide/03_using.html
 '-H' is the apporpriate flag while '-h' is a flag passed
 for help content.
