Damien Gérard highlights an interesting problem. Some p4
repositories end up with symlinks that have an empty target. It
is not possible to create this with current p4, but they do
indeed exist.
The effect in git p4 is that "p4 print" on the symlink returns an
empty string, confusing the curret symlink-handling code.
Such broken repositories cause problems in p4 as well, even with
no git involved. In p4, syncing to a change that includes a
bogus symlink causes errors:
//depot/empty-symlink - updating /home/me/p4/empty-symlink
rename: /home/me/p4/empty-symlink: No such file or directory
and leaves no symlink.
In git, replicate the p4 behavior by ignoring these bad symlinks.
If, in a later p4 revision, the symlink happens to point to
something non-null, the symlink will be replaced properly.
Add a big test for all this too.
This happens to be a regression introduced by 1292df1 (git-p4:
Fix occasional truncation of symlink contents., 2013-08-08) and
appeared first in 1.8.5. But it shows up only in p4 repositories
of dubious character, so can wait for a proper release.

While this happens to work, there was no test to make sure
that the basic importing of a symlink from p4 to git functioned.
Add a simple test to create a symlink in p4 and import it into git,
then verify that the symlink exists and has the correct target.

Prior to commit fa83a33b, the 'git checkout' DWIMery would create a
new local branch if the specified branch name did not exist and it
matched exactly one ref in the "remotes" namespace. It searched
the "remotes" namespace for matching refs using a simple comparison
of the trailing portion of the remote ref names. This approach
could sometimes produce false positives or negatives.
Since fa83a33b, the DWIMery more strictly excludes the remote name
from the ref comparison by iterating through the remotes that are
configured in the .gitconfig file. This has the side-effect that
any refs that exist in the "remotes" namespace, but do not match
the destination side of any remote refspec, will not be used by
the DWIMery.
This change in behavior breaks the tests in t9802 which relied on
the old behavior of searching all refs in the remotes namespace,
since the git-p4 script does not configure any remotes in the
.gitconfig. Let's work around this in these tests by explicitly
naming the upstream branch to base the new local branch on when
calling 'git checkout'.

Improve "git p4" on Cygwin.
* pw/git-p4-on-cygwin: (21 commits)
git p4: introduce gitConfigBool
git p4: avoid shell when calling git config
git p4: avoid shell when invoking git config --get-all
git p4: avoid shell when invoking git rev-list
git p4: avoid shell when mapping users
git p4: disable read-only attribute before deleting
git p4 test: use test_chmod for cygwin
git p4: cygwin p4 client does not mark read-only
git p4 test: avoid wildcard * in windows
git p4 test: use LineEnd unix in windows tests too
git p4 test: newline handling
git p4: scrub crlf for utf16 files on windows
git p4: remove unreachable windows \r\n conversion code
git p4 test: translate windows paths for cygwin
git p4 test: start p4d inside its db dir
git p4 test: use client_view in t9806
git p4 test: avoid loop in client_view
git p4 test: use client_view to build the initial client
git p4: generate better error message for bad depot path
git p4: remove unused imports
...
P4 stores newlines in the depos as \n. By default, git does this
too, both on unix and windows. Test to make sure that this stays
true.
Both git and p4 have mechanisms to use \r\n in the working
directory. Exercise these.

Python 2.4 lacks the following features:
subprocess.check_call
struct.pack_into
Take a cue from 460d1026 and provide an implementation of the
CalledProcessError exception. Then replace the calls to
subproccess.check_call with calls to subprocess.call that check the return
status and raise a CalledProcessError exception if necessary.
The struct.pack_into in t/9802 can be converted into a single struct.pack
call which is available in Python 2.4.

Drop the $GITP4 variable that was used to specify the script in
contrib/fast-import/. The command is called "git p4" now, not
"git-p4".
Note that configuration variables will remain in a section called
"git-p4".

One of the filetypes that p4 supports is utf16. Its behavior is
odd in this case. The data delivered through "p4 -G print" is
not encoded in utf16, although "p4 print -o" will produce the
proper utf16-encoded file.
When dealing with this filetype, discard the data from -G, and
instead read the contents directly.
An alternate approach would be to try to encode the data in
python. That worked for true utf16 files, but for other files
marked as utf16, p4 delivers mangled text in no recognizable encoding.
Add a test case to check utf16 handling, and +k and +ko handling.
