In-Reply-To
<pull.1285.v3.git.git.1658394440.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Kilian Kilger <kkilger@gmail.com>

The function p4CmdList executes a Perforce command and decodes the marshalled python dictionary. Special care has to be taken for certain dictionary values which contain non-unicode characters. The old handling contained separate hacks for each of the corresponding dictionary keys. This commit tries to refactor the coding to handle the special cases uniformely.
