git p4 was moved out of contrib in 1.7.11 but it git-completion didn't
know about it. Add git p4 completion based on the existing SVN
completion. It covers all known subcommands and options except for the
-/ option for clone which doesn't use the standard -- prefix.

Sounds sensible; thanks.

This is taken when $cur begins with --, but $submit_opts includes
"-M" which doesn't begin with it.  Is that a problem?

Very nice, thank you.  A couple nits.

It's --changesfile (no dash), weird, but true.

Very recently we added --dry-run and --prepare-p4-only and
--conflict to submit.  Follow 8db3865^2 to see the patches
for those.

This would be prettier if it had its own local rebase_opts.
