Re: git-p4: problem with commit 97a21ca50ef8

Would it be good if git-p4 understood how to identify and create
AppleDouble files on Mac?  If yes, eventually, we can revert the
commit and explain how this feature doesn't quite work yet.
Even if no, it seems like we should revert and complain that
this apple support is broken.
I've used git-p4 for many years, and have always had to work around
the limitation of the "apple" filetype and the resulting lack of files
added to the git repo.

Of course, I'd love to have git-p4 work seamlessly for this scenario.
Even Perforce have a KB article on the limitation of the "apple"
filetype with git-p4:

  http://kb.perforce.com/article/1417/git-p4

At least with 97a21ca50ef8 reverted, there is a warning that files
will be missing. The current behaviour results in a git repo with
unusable files without any warning whatsoever. I think having unusable
files, and without warnings, is worse as there is no indication that
there is a problem with files in the working tree.
