Hi!
If you have a dollar in a filename and attempt to submit it to Perforce
via git-p4 it fails.
e.g. this sequence:
% touch foo\$bar.c
% git commit -m 'whatever' foo\$bar.c
% git-p4 submit
....
....
Submit aborted -- fix problems then use 'p4 submit -c 3'.
The problem is all the places that use the git-p4 read_pipe() function,
which is a wrapper around os.popen(). popen() does shell expansion which
does hilarious things to files with dollars in their name.
You can have hours of fun and entertainment with this. Adding a file
called foo\`fortune\`.h is especially amusing.
I'm going to try to come up with a fix for this.
Luke
