[PATCH 00/12] Allow users to access Perforce repositories requiring authentication

[Anand Kumria <wildfire@progsoc.org>]

Hi,

This series of patches refactors a few function calls into git-p4
so that they all go via the same function to build up the command
line.

It also then allows users to specify any particular user / password
required to access their Perforce repository (plus a few other parameters).

I have specifically tested this agains the public Zimbra repository and
it works for me fine. Any feedback would be welcomed.

Thanks,
Anand

Anand Kumria (12):
  Create a specific version of the read_pipe_lines command for p4
    invocations
  Utilise the new 'p4_read_pipe_lines' command
  Have a command that specifically invokes 'p4' (via system)
  Utilise the new 'p4_system' function.
  Add a single command that will be used to construct the 'p4' command
  If we are in verbose mode, output what we are about to run (or
    return)
  Switch to using 'p4_build_cmd'
  If the user has configured various parameters, use them.
  Consistently use 'git-p4' for the configuration entries
  Move git-p4.syncFromOrigin into a configuration parameters section
  Put some documentation in about the parameters that have been added
  Put in the two other configuration elements found in the source
