When git-p4 reads the output from a p4 command, it assumes it will be
100% UTF-8. If even one character in the output of one p4 command is
not UTF-8, git-p4 crashes with:
File "C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git-p4.py", line 774, in p4CmdList
value = value.decode() UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't
decode byte Ox93 in position 42: invalid start byte
I'd like to make a pull request to have it try another encoding (eg
cp1252) and/or use the Unicode replacement character, to prevent the
whole program from crashing on such a minor problem.
This is especially a problem on the "git p4 clone" command with @all,
where git-p4 needs to read thousands of changeset descriptions, one of
which may have a stray smart quote, causing the whole clone operation
to fail.
Sound ok?
