git-p4 migrates perforce “main” branch into git branches as subdirectories (doubled code in git branches)

Using git p4 on git version 1.7.12.rc2 has path issues. Standard clone/sync ops apparently place detected master and branches on independent and parallel directory structures instead of git branches. See http://stackoverflow.com/q/11893688/1588831 for a full demo of the problem. Thanks, -Matt Korich
