From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@xxxxxxxxx>
A P4 repository can get into a state where it contains a file with file
type UTF16 that does not not contain valid UTF16 characters. If git-p4
attempts to retrieve the file as UTF16 from P4 then the process crashes
with a "Translation of file content failed" error.
Fix this by detecting this error and retrieving the file as binary
instead. The result in Git is the same.
