     -    git-p4: fix bug with encoding of p4 client name
     +    git-p4: refactoring of p4CmdList()
      
     -    The Perforce client name can contain arbitrary characters
     -    which do not decode to UTF-8. Use the fallback strategy
     -    implemented in metadata_stream_to_writable_bytes() also
     -    for the client name.
     +    The function p4CmdList executes a Perforce command and
     +    decodes the marshalled python dictionary. Special care has to be
     +    taken for certain dictionary values which contain non-unicode characters.
     +    The old handling contained separate hacks for each of the corresponding
     +    dictionary keys. This commit tries to refactor the coding to handle the
     +    special cases uniformely.
