Subject: [PATCH] git-p4: Fix support for symlinks.

From: Simon Hausmann <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2007 12:28:00 +0200

Detect symlinks as file type, set the git file mode accordingly and strip off the trailing newline in the p4 print output.
Make the mode handling a bit more readable at the same time.
