[git-p4] Can't submit: Something I do in a wrong way.

Hi list, I need a help with git-p4.

There are //1, //2, //3 in perforce's depot, and /dir1 is a client's root.
So:
Root:   /dir1/
//1/... //client/1... etc
I've checkouted //1, //2 and //3.

In /git I did "git clone //1; git clone //2", So I have /git/1, /git/2. Now I run in /git/1 "git-p4 submit commitBr" and choose 'y' to sync, where comitBr has one more commit than master. I get "Path /git/1/... is not under client's root /dir1/". Without syncing it says I have opened files, but when I do in /dir1/1 "p4 -a revert" I get: "file(s) not opened on this client". Looks like "git-p4 rebase" works fine.

Also I tried to keep git in the same dir as perforce workspace: I did 1 commit and then failed to do anything, because got strange conflicts.

P.S. Please don't forget to keep me in CC :)

Retried and noticed that if I do: /dir1/1> git-p4 submit --git-dir=../../git/1/ --origin=master Then everything works fine. Strange, but docs say: "This requires a Perforce checkout separate to your git repository. To submit all changes that are in the current git branch but not in the "p4" branch (or "origin" if "p4" doesn't exist) simply call

    git-p4 submit

in your git repository." And my approach is a bit vice versa. Any suggestions? I can go with it, but I want almost forget about thing that I have perforce :)
