This code:
if type_base == "symlink":
git_mode = "120000"
# p4 print on a symlink sometimes contains "target\n";
# if it does, remove the newline
data = ''.join(contents)
==> if data[-1] == '\n':
contents = [data[:-1]]
else:
contents = [data]
means that data is an empty string. Implies you've got a
symlink pointing to nothing. Is that even possible?
It could be this is a regression introduced at 1292df1 (git-p4:
Fix occasional truncation of symlink contents., 2013-08-08). The
old way of doing data[:-1] unconditionally would have worked but
was broken for other reasons.
Could you investigate the symlink a bit? We're looking for
one in change 59702 that points to nowhere. Maybe do:
$ p4 describe -s 59702
and see if you can figure out which of those could be a symlink, then
inspect it:
$ p4 fstat //depot/symlink@59702
(probably shows it is "headRev 1")
$ p4 print -q //depot/symlink#1
$ p4 print -q //depot/symlink#1 | od -c
Thanks for checking this depot info first.
