It is legal to sync a branch with a different name than
refs/remotes/p4/master, and to do so even when master does
not exist.

If --branch was used to build a repository with no
refs/remotes/p4/master, future syncs will not know
which branch to sync. Notice this situation and
print a helpful error message.

For a clone or sync, --branch says where the newly imported
branch should go, or which existing branch to sync up. It
takes an argument, which is currently either something that
starts with "refs/", or if not, "refs/heads/p4" is prepended.
Putting it in heads seems like a bad default; these should
go in remotes/p4/ in most situations. Make that the new default,
and be more liberal in the form of the branch name.

Make sure that the example on how to use git-p4.branchList
works if typed directly. In particular, it does not make sense
to set a config variable until the git repository has been
initialized.

When using the --branch argument to "git p4 clone", one
might specify a destination for p4 changes different from
the default refs/remotes/p4/master. Both cases should
create a master branch and checkout files.

There is code to create a symbolic reference from p4/HEAD to
p4/master. This allows saying "git show p4" as a shortcut
to "git show p4/master", for example.
But this reference was only created on the second "git p4 sync"
(or first sync after a clone). Make it work on the initial
clone or sync.

Add failing tests to document behavior when there are multiple p4
branches, as created using the --branch option. In particular:
Using clone --branch populates the specified branch correctly, but
dies with an error when trying to checkout master.
Calling sync without a master branch dies with an error looking for
master. When there are two or more branches, a sync does
nothing due to branch detection code, but that is expected.
Using sync --branch to try to update just a particular branch
updates no branch, but appears to succeed.

When "git clone --separate-git-dir=$over_there" is interrupted, it

"git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec with

When make is run, the python scripts are created from *.py files that

However, next time make is run with a different value in PYTHON_PATH,
we failed to regenerate these scripts.
