Hello,

I have a hunch it might be a regression from JENKINS-57870.

I have a Freestyle job with a Source Code Management set as Perforce. View maps a pretty big directory.

I only need to have my job triggered, I don't want to sync anything, so I picked Preview check Only.

This strategy, unfortunately, hits a `maxresults` limitation from a server. It seems that this operation:

p4 changes -m1 -ssubmitted //depot/bigdir/...@123456

... isn't cheap, actually. `-m1` filtering applies after getting all the possible data from the server. On the contrary, this operation:

p4 changes -m1 -ssubmitted //depot/bigdir/...

... seems to be fine.

I also don't entirely understand what this operation is supposed to do. The result for my tests was, that it returns the very same changelist number.

In the mentioned JENKINS-57870 it looks like the fetching was supposed to be done in batches. It doesn't seems to do that in a current version of a plugin in this scenario. We have a  Head change query limit configured, as well as I tested values like 1, 10, 100 there. Didn't help.

Also setting, unsetting Quiete option didn't help as well.

Ideally I would like to have a Populate strategy set as None, as I am just interested with P4_CHANGELIST number from the P4 trigger call via property.
