title: git p4 clone command gives error : failure accessing depot: could not connect
body: <p>I am not able to run the <strong>git p4 clone //depot/xyz</strong> command on my git bash. It gives me error <strong>failure accessing depot: could not connect</strong> and just creates a empty directory with .git folder. 
  I have done all the required configurations for git p4.</p>
  
  <pre><code>git-p4.py file is present at git/bin &amp; git-core directories.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I set the p4 configurations like below in git bash</p>
  
  <pre><code>p4 set P4PORT=ssl:perforce1.xyx.net:1212
  p4 set P4USER=&lt;&lt;user.name&gt;&gt;
  p4 set P4PASSWD=&lt;&lt;password&gt;&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, if I enter <strong>p4 client</strong> command and edit the configuration giving the exact depot path like below, I am able to run <strong>p4 sync</strong> to load the project. So it doesn't look like a network/credentials/firewall/port etc etc issue: (below p4 client configuration lets me run p4 sync successfully)</p>

  <p>I can confirm that <strong>git p4</strong> is successfully installed.
  What could be going wrong here? Is it something related to git-p4.py ?</p>
