I have seen it too. I'm not sure, but it seems to me like even though the git-p4 script does a chdir(<perforce_dir>) before calling "p4 <command> <args>" the chdir is "not seen by" p4 on windows.

I have a patch on my machine where i simply change all the p4 calls, like so:

system("p4 sync ...") --> system("p4 sync %s..." % self.clientPath)

This seems to work in all cases, and also in Mac OS X... I can probably clean the patch up a bit, and submit it later today or tomorrow if you're interested.
