[PATCH 0/3] fix git-p4 client root symlink problems

[Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com>]

Miklós pointed out in

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/214915

that when the p4 client root included a symlink, bad things
happen.  It is fixable, but inconvenient, to use an absolute path
in one's p4 client.  It's not too hard to be smarter about this
in git-p4.

Thanks to Miklós for the patch, and to John for the style
suggestions.  I wrote a couple of tests to make sure this part
doesn't break again.

This is maybe a bug introduced by bf1d68f (git-p4: use absolute
directory for PWD env var, 2011-12-09), but that's so long ago
that I don't think this is a candidate for maint.
