[PATCH 4/9] contrib: remove git-p4import

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

The git p4import documentation has suggested git p4 as a better
alternative for more than 6 years.  (According to the mailing list
discussion when it was moved to contrib/, git-p4import has serious
bugs --- e.g., its incremental mode just doesn't work.) Since then,
git p4 has been actively developed and was promoted to a standard git
command alongside git svn.

Searches on google.com/trends and stackoverflow suggest that no one is
looking for git-p4import any more.  Remove it.

Noticed while considering marking the contrib/p4import/git-p4import.py
script executable as part of a wider sweep.

-NAME
-----
-git-p4import - Import a Perforce repository into git
-
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-`git-p4import` [-q|-v] [--notags] [--authors <file>] [-t <timezone>]
-               <//p4repo/path> <branch>
-`git-p4import` --stitch <//p4repo/path>
-`git-p4import`
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-Import a Perforce repository into an existing git repository.  When
-a <//p4repo/path> and <branch> are specified a new branch with the
-given name will be created and the initial import will begin.
-
-Once the initial import is complete you can do an incremental import
-of new commits from the Perforce repository.  You do this by checking
-out the appropriate git branch and then running `git-p4import` without
-any options.
-
-The standard p4 client is used to communicate with the Perforce
-repository; it must be configured correctly in order for `git-p4import`
-to operate (see below).
-
-
-OPTIONS
--------
--q::
-	Do not display any progress information.
-
--v::
-        Give extra progress information.
-
-\--authors::
-	Specify an authors file containing a mapping of Perforce user
-	ids to full names and email addresses (see Notes below).
-
-\--notags::
-	Do not create a tag for each imported commit.
-
-\--stitch::
-	Import the contents of the given perforce branch into the
-	currently checked out git branch.
-
-\--log::
-	Store debugging information in the specified file.
-
--t::
-	Specify that the remote repository is in the specified timezone.
-	Timezone must be in the format "US/Pacific" or "Europe/London"
-	etc.  You only need to specify this once, it will be saved in
-	the git config file for the repository.
-
-<//p4repo/path>::
-	The Perforce path that will be imported into the specified branch.
-
-<branch>::
-	The new branch that will be created to hold the Perforce imports.
-
-
-P4 Client
----------
-You must make the `p4` client command available in your $PATH and
-configure it to communicate with the target Perforce repository.
-Typically this means you must set the "$P4PORT" and "$P4CLIENT"
-environment variables.
-
-You must also configure a `p4` client "view" which maps the Perforce
-branch into the top level of your git repository, for example:
-
-------------
-Client: myhost
-
-Root:   /home/sean/import
-
-Options:   noallwrite clobber nocompress unlocked modtime rmdir
-
-View:
-        //public/jam/... //myhost/jam/...
-------------
-
-With the above `p4` client setup, you could import the "jam"
-perforce branch into a branch named "jammy", like so:
-
-------------
-$ mkdir -p /home/sean/import/jam
-$ cd /home/sean/import/jam
-$ git init
-$ git p4import //public/jam jammy
-------------
-
-
-Multiple Branches
------------------
-Note that by creating multiple "views" you can use `git-p4import`
-to import additional branches into the same git repository.
-However, the `p4` client has a limitation in that it silently
-ignores all but the last "view" that maps into the same local
-directory.  So the following will *not* work:
-
-------------
-View:
-        //public/jam/... //myhost/jam/...
-        //public/other/... //myhost/jam/...
-        //public/guest/... //myhost/jam/...
-------------
-
-If you want more than one Perforce branch to be imported into the
-same directory you must employ a workaround.  A simple option is
-to adjust your `p4` client before each import to only include a
-single view.
-
-Another option is to create multiple symlinks locally which all
-point to the same directory in your git repository and then use
-one per "view" instead of listing the actual directory.
-
-
-Tags
-----
-A git tag of the form p4/xx is created for every change imported from
-the Perforce repository where xx is the Perforce changeset number.
-Therefore after the import you can use git to access any commit by its
-Perforce number, e.g. git show p4/327.
-
-The tag associated with the HEAD commit is also how `git-p4import`
-determines if there are new changes to incrementally import from the
-Perforce repository.
-
-If you import from a repository with many thousands of changes
-you will have an equal number of p4/xxxx git tags.  Git tags can
-be expensive in terms of disk space and repository operations.
-If you don't need to perform further incremental imports, you
-may delete the tags.
-
-
-Notes
------
-You can interrupt the import (e.g. ctrl-c) at any time and restart it
-without worry.
-
-Author information is automatically determined by querying the
-Perforce "users" table using the id associated with each change.
