Subject: [PATCH v2] git-p4.py: add support for filetype change
Message-ID: <1451904764-338-1-git-send-email-romain.picard@oakbits.com>

```
After changing the type of a file in the git repository, it is not possible to
"git p4 publish" the commit to perforce. This is due to the fact that the git
"T" status is not handled in git-p4.py. This can typically occur when replacing
an existing file with a symbolic link.

The "T" modifier is now supported in git-p4.py. When a file type has changed,
inform perforce with the "p4 edit -f auto" command.

Micronit.  It would be nicer to the readers to make it clear that
there is no funny substitution to be worried about by quoting the
end marker of these here document, i.e.

		cat >dest <<-\EOF &&
                text without any funny substitution business
                EOF

This needs a SYMLINKS prerequisite so that it is skipped on systems
that lack support for symbolic links, i.e.

	test_expect_success SYMLINKS 'change file to symbolic link' '

The same for the next one.

Thanks.

Looks good to me, thanks for adding the test. I think the test needs
to say what the terms of the copyright are (GPL, etc) but other than
that it looks good.

Thanks

I copy/pasted the copyright present in "t/README" and other tests. Tell 
me if you
want an explicit reference to a license.

However since many existing tests do not have any copyright I can just 
remove it.
