From: Fahad Alrashed <fahad@xxxxxxxxxxx> Bug fix: During "git p4 clone" if p4 process returns an error from the server, it will store it in variable "err". The it will send a text command "die-now" to git-fast-import. However, git-fast-import raises an exception: "fatal: Unsupported command: die-now" and err is never displayed. This patch ensures that err is dispayed using "finally:" Signed-off-by: Fahad Alrashed <fahad@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- In git p4, git fast-import fails from die-now command and err (from Perforce) is not shown When importing from Perforce using git p4 clone <depot location>, cloning works fine until Perforce command p4 raises an error. This error message is stored in err variable then git-fast-import is sent a die-now command to kill it. An exception is raised fatal: Unsupported command: die-now. This patch forces python to call die() with the err message returned from Perforce. This commit fixes the root cause of a bug that took me hours to find. I'm sure many faced the cryptic error and declared that git-p4 is not working for them.
