Subject: git-p4: cope with labels with empty descriptions
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.10-rc0~131^2~3
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a37a8de8d61f5af3a2d347c6d6668f4316f48383;p=git.git

git-p4: cope with labels with empty descriptions

Use an explicit length for the data in a label, rather
than EOT, so that labels with empty descriptions are
passed through correctly.
