There are four wildcard characters in p4. Files with these
characters can be added to p4 repos using the "-f" option.
They are stored in %xx notation, and when checked out, p4
converts them back to normal.
This patch does the same thing when importing into git,
converting the four special characters. Without this change,
the files appear with literal %xx in their names.
Be careful not to produce "*" in filenames on windows. That

I'm working with a perforce repo using git-p4. There are some config
files which I need to change locally according to my environment. I'm
using a 'local' git branch to park these changes. And I want to avoid
accidentally checking them into p4 just by doing "git p4 submit"
mindlessly without realizing which branch I'm actually on.
This patch adds a new git config, 'git-p4.allowSubmit', which is a
whitelist of branch names. "git p4 submit" will only allow submissions
from local branches on the list. Useful for preventing inadvertently
submitting from a strictly local branch.
For backward compatibility, if this config is not set at all,

This changeset takes advantage of the new parseDiffTreeEntry(...) function to
detect changes to the execute bit in the git repository. During submit, git-p4
now looks for changes to the executable bit and if it finds them it "reopens"
the file in perforce, which allows it to change the file type.
The logic for adding the executable bit in perforce is straightforward: the +x
modifier can be used. Removing the executable bit in perforce requires that the
entire filetype be redefined (there is no way to join remove the bit with a -x
modifier, for example). This changeset includes logic to remove the executable
bit from the full file type while preserving the base file type and other
modifiers.

The current git-p4 implementation does support file renames. However, because
it does not use the "p4 integrate" command, the history for the renamed file is
not linked to the new file.
This changeset adds support for perforce renames with the integrate command.
Currently this feature is only enabled when calling git-p4 submit with the -M
option. This is intended to look and behave similar to the "detect renames"
feature of other git commands.
The following sequence is used for renamed files:
p4 integrate -Dt x x'
p4 edit x'
rm x'
git apply
p4 delete x
By default, perforce will not allow an integration with a target file that has
been deleted. That is, if x' in the example above is the name of a previously
deleted file then perforce will fail the integrate. The -Dt option tells
perforce to allow the target of integrate to be a previously deleted file.
