Subject: git-p4: use subprocess in p4CmdList
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.3-rc3~34^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9f90c7335e223c26d19f3c01a6d89e6c0cd8b827;p=git.git

git-p4: use subprocess in p4CmdList

This allows bidirectional piping - useful for "-x -" to avoid commandline
arguments - and is a step toward bypassing the shell.
