Subject: [PATCH 1/2] git-p4.py: support Python 2.5

From: Brandon Casey <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 12:44:00 -0800

Python 2.5 and older do not accept None as the first argument to
translate() and complain with:

   TypeError: expected a character buffer object

Satisfy this older python by calling maketrans() to generate an empty
translation table and supplying that to translate().

This allows git-p4 to be used with Python 2.5.
