Our P4 server has a limitation on the number of lines returned by "p4
changes" command, so sometimes I have to use @change_start,@change_stop
instead of @all. You might want to use this range limitation to test
git-p4 by limiting to a small number of changelists that allows you to
check if at least one branch is correctly detected.

In this case the problem should not be in branchList configuration.

Keep using it, at least for now. If everything else fails we can look at
this again.
