Subject: [PATCH 2/4] git-p4: cope with labels with empty descriptions
Message-ID: <1326755689-3344-3-git-send-email-luke@diamand.org>
In-Reply-To: <1326755689-3344-1-git-send-email-luke@diamand.org>

Use an explicit length for the data in a label, rather
than EOT, so that labels with empty descriptions are
passed through correctly.
