Git p4 sync changelist interval

Hello,

My goal is to sync the repository from p4 using an interval of changelists so that the first changelist version of the repository would be considered as an initial commit. So I used the following command:

 git p4 clone //depot@cl1,cl2

And when it finished, the files, that were created before the cl1 were not in the HEAD.

The problem, as I see it, is that before syncing changes in the given range, p4 task does not sync to cl1 version of the repo, and applies commits to the empty repository. Is it a bug or my misunderstanding of how git p4 should work?
