+ Import at most 'n' changes, rather than the entire range of

+ The internal block size to use when converting a revision

+ sequence of calls to 'p4 changes -m', each of which requests
+ one block of changes of the given size. The default block size

+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
