The p4 program is finicky about making sure the recorded client Root
matches the current working directory. The way it discovers the latter
seems to be to inspect shell variable $PWD. This could involve symlinks,
that while leading to the same place as the client Root, look different,
and cause p4 to fail.
Resolve all client paths using "test-path-utils real_path $path". This
removes ".." and resolves all symlinks.
Discovered while running with --root=/dev/shm, which is a link to
/run/shm.

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".

RCS keywords cause problems for git-p4 as perforce always
expands them (if +k is set) and so when applying the patch,
git reports that the files have been modified by both sides,
when in fact they haven't.
This change means that when git-p4 detects a problem applying
a patch, it will check to see if keyword expansion could be
the culprit. If it is, it strips the keywords in the p4
repository so that they match what git is expecting. It then
has another go at applying the patch.
This behaviour is enabled with a new git-p4 configuration
option and is off by default.
