From 78871bf46f18cd92e744a993c1d6422ff30d8bca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luke Diamand Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2017 11:36:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] git-p4: add read_pipe_text() internal function The existing read_pipe() function returns an empty string on error, but also returns an empty string if the command returns an empty string. This leads to ugly constructions trying to detect error cases. Add read_pipe_text() which just returns None on error.
