This variable is a boolean, not the name of a p4 client.
+git-p4.pathEncoding::
+ Perforce keeps the encoding of a path as given by the originating OS.
+ Git expects paths encoded as UTF-8. Use this config to tell git-p4
+ what encoding Perforce had used for the paths. This encoding is used
+ to transcode the paths to UTF-8. As an example, Perforce on Windows
+ often uses "cp1252" to encode path names.

+git-p4.largeFileSystem::
+ Specify the system that is used for large (binary) files. Please note
+ that large file systems do not support the 'git p4 submit' command.
+ Only Git LFS is implemented right now (see https://git-lfs.github.com/
+ for more information). Download and install the Git LFS command line
