git-p4: recover from inconsistent perforce history
Perforce allows you commit files and directories with the same name, so you could have files //depot/foo and //depot/foo/bar both checked in. A p4 sync of a repository in this state fails. Deleting one of the files recovers the repository. When this happens we want git-p4 to recover in the same way as perforce. Note that Perforce has this change in their 2017.1 version: Bugs fixed in 2017.1 #1489051 (Job #2170) ** Submitting a file with the same name as an existing depot directory path (or vice versa) will now be rejected. so people hopefully will not creating damaged Perforce repos anymore, but "git p4" needs to be able to interact with already corrupt ones.
