+# If user-server is true in the :vcs_info:p4:... context, contact the
+# server to decide whether the directory is handled by Perforce.  This can
+# cause a delay if the network times out, in particular if looking up the
+# server name failed.  Hence this is not the default.  If a timeout
+# occurred, the server:port pair is added to the associative array
+# vcs_info_p4_dead_servers and the server is never contacted again.  The
+# array must be edited by hand to remove it.
+#
+# If user-server is false or not set, the function looks to see if there is
+# a file $P4CONFIG somewhere above in the hierarchy.  This is far from
+# foolproof; in fact it relies on you using the particular working practice
+# of having such files in all client root directories and nowhere above.
