<d608f529a0e01e99c97e895ab483000da068a7ac.1575901009.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.675.git.git.1575901009.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Ben Keene <seraphire@gmail.com>

When applying a commit fails because of RCS keywords, Git will fail the P4 submit. It would help the user if Git suggested that the user set git-p4.attemptRCSCleanup to true.

Change the applyCommit() method that when applying a commit fails becasue of the P4 RCS Keywords, the user should consider setting git-p4.attemptRCSCleanup to true.
