+CLIENT SPEC
+-----------
+The p4 client specification is maintained with the 'p4 client' command
+and contains among other fields, a View that specifies how the depot
+is mapped into the client repository.  Git-p4 can consult the client
+spec when given the '--use-client-spec' option or useClientSpec
+variable.
+
+The full syntax for a p4 view is documented in 'p4 help views'.  Git-p4
+knows only a subset of the view syntax.  It understands multi-line
+mappings, overlays with '+', exclusions with '-' and double-quotes
+around whitespace.  Of the possible wildcards, git-p4 only handles
+'...', and only when it is at the end of the path.  Git-p4 will complain
+if it encounters an unhandled wildcard.
+
+The name of the client can be given to git-p4 in multiple ways.  The
+variable 'git-p4.client' takes precedence if it exists.  Otherwise,
+normal p4 mechanisms of determining the client are used:  environment
+variable P4CLIENT, a file referenced by P4CONFIG, or the local host name.
