Miklós pointed out in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/214915
that when the p4 client root included a symlink, bad things
happen. It is fixable, but inconvenient, to use an absolute path
in one's p4 client. It's not too hard to be smarter about this
in git-p4.
Thanks to Miklós for the patch, and to John for the style
suggestions. I wrote a couple of tests to make sure this part
doesn't break again.
This is maybe a bug introduced by bf1d68f (git-p4: use absolute
directory for PWD env var, 2011-12-09), but that's so long ago
that I don't think this is a candidate for maint.
