We are moving from Perfoce to GitHub and we are using git-p4 to migrate our solutions with full history. Some of the solutions however, have spaces in their source paths.
e.g. //Development/Custom/Projects/API1/JOE SOAP/Proposal12345
Note the space between JOE and SOAP.
No matter what we've tried, we can't get the migration to succeed.
Here are the combinations we've tried with the related output
git p4 clone //Development/Custom/Projects/API1/JOE SOAP/Proposal12345@all
Importing from //Development/Custom/Projects/API1/JOE into SOAP/CR-13016@all
Reinitialized existing Git repository in C:/CommandLineTools/temp/SOAP/CR-13016@all/.git/
Doing initial import of //Development/Custom/Projects/API1/JOE/ from revision #head into refs/remotes/p4/master
p4 returned an error: //Development/Custom/Projects/API1/JOE/...#head - no such file(s).

Has anyone found a way around this?
I don't know precisely what the problem is, I'd expect the 3rd alternative to work.
Maybe try doing it on Linux?
Also maybe try running
p4 -d "C:\CommandLineTools\temp\CR-13016" changes //Development/Custom/Projects/API1/JOE SOAP/CR-13016/...directly and see what fails?
