Python 2.4 lacks the following features:

   subprocess.check_call
   struct.pack_into

Take a cue from 460d1026 and provide an implementation of the
CalledProcessError exception.  Then replace the calls to
subproccess.check_call with calls to subprocess.call that check the return
status and raise a CalledProcessError exception if necessary.

The struct.pack_into in t/9802 can be converted into a single struct.pack
call which is available in Python 2.4.

Python 2.5 and older do not accept None as the first argument to
translate() and complain with:

   TypeError: expected a character buffer object

As suggested by Pete Wyckoff, let's just replace the call to translate()
with a regex search which should be more clear and more portable.

This allows git-p4 to be used with Python 2.5.

Document that when using git svn, one should usually either use the
directory structure options to import branches as branches, or only
import one subdirectory. The default behaviour of cloning all branches
and tags as subdirectories in the working copy is usually not what the
user wants.

git svn sometimes creates branches with an at-sign in the name

why they are created. Document when git svn creates them.

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...

Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.

However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.
