This works in both bash and dash:
$ bash -c 'VAR=1 env' | grep VAR
VAR=1
$ dash -c 'VAR=1 env' | grep VAR
VAR=1
But environment variables assigned this way are not necessarily propagated
through a function in POSIX compliant shells:
$ bash -c 'f() { "$@"
}; VAR=1 f "env"' | grep VAR
VAR=1
$ dash -c 'f() { "$@"
}; VAR=1 f "env"' | grep VAR
Fix constructs like this, in particular, setting variables through
test_must_fail.

Document how git-p4 currently works when specifying multiple
depot paths:
1. No branches or directories are named.
2. Conflicting files are silently ignored---the last change
wins.
2. Option --destination is required, else the last path is construed
to be a directory.
3. Revision specifiers must be the same on all paths for them to
take effect.
Test this behavior.
