2015-09-22git-p4: handle "Translation of file content failed"Lars Schneider
A P4 repository can get into a state where it contains a file with type UTF-16 that does not contain a valid UTF-16 BOM. If git-p4 attempts to retrieve the file then the process crashes with a "Translation of file content failed" error. More info here: http://answers.perforce.com/articles/KB/3117 Fix this by detecting this error and retrieving the file as binary instead. The result in Git is the same. Known issue: This works only if git-p4 is executed in verbose mode. In normal mode no exceptions are thrown and git-p4 just exits.
