this request feature is purely for p4maven/maven release plugin integration where p4jenkins is used to create initial workspace.

during maven release, p4maven needs to discover the client name it is working on by scanning thru the entire list of available clients.

my many CI clusters are huge and we use the same account on many jenkins master/slave instances to create workspaces. However, p4jenkins currently created the worksapce but leave the hostname empty.

If the hostname is locked in for each workspace, p4maven can narrow down to a much much smaller list during it release-prepare step
