Hi,

When I use "git p4 sync" to update a git repository from a perforce depot, the operation fails with error message:

     failure accessing depot: unknown error code info
When I run "p4 login -s" from a shell it reports:
     'login' not necessary, no password set for this user.
The following patch fixes the problem for me:

Not sure if this helps, but running "p4 -G login -s | hexdump" gives:

I guess, this got broken in commit 0ef67acdd78 ("git-p4: better error reporting when p4 fails", 2018-06-08)

In my case, I was getting (this is pretty printed `p4 -G` output):
    {b'code': b'info', b'level': 0, b'data': b'User <username> was authenticated by password not ticket.'}
I guess, that's because I have P4PASSWD variable exported and/or git-p4.password set.

This fixes the problem for me too.
