This shares the same issue as "checking files out on case insensitive filesystems" topic in the other thread. "my*file" may not be usable by the project when renamed to "my%2Afile", so "git-p4 sync" may want to warn the user about the path when this happens.

And you need to reverse this quoting upon "git-p4 submit". Does that happen already?
