[PATCH] git-p4: warn if git authorship won't be retained

If the git commits you are submitting contain changes made by other people, the authorship will not be retained. Change git-p4 to warn of this and to note that --preserve-user can be used to solve the problem (if you have suitable permissions). The warning can be disabled.

Add a test case and update documentation.

Of course, I've forgotten the && in the test case.
Sigh.

When the commands in the && chain fails after 'cd "$git"' near the top but not before 'cd "$TRASH_DIRECTORY"' near the end, you would end up starting the next test from somewhere different from "$TRASH_DIRECTORY".

Do it like this instead:
	"$GITP4" clone --dest="$git" //depot &&
        (
        	cd "$git" &&
                ...
	) &&
        rm -fr "$git"

Thanks - that might explain a few oddities I had when testing.

There's a few others of those in the earlier tests; I'll resend this patch, and send a second patch to fix those if that's ok.

Regards! Luke

Heh, I didn't really "request" it; I am not a git-p4 user and am in no position to judge if such a feature is useful. If you felt it is a good thing to do, please take full the credit (no need to resend; I am not complaining).

Thanks.
