Transfer can fail due to P4IGNORE files in depot #9

Transferring from a depot that has p4ignore files can interfere with target changelist processing.

2021-10-17 21:00:56,353:P4Transfer:ERROR: Replication failure: missing elements in target changelist: E:\p4transfer\ClientSync/ThirdParty/BLAKE3/.gitignore, E:\p4transfer\ClientSync/ThirdParty/BLAKE3/.github/workflows/ci.yml, E:\p4transfer\ClientSync/ThirdParty/BLAKE3/c/.gitignore

This was due to .p4ignore.txt files buried in the depot with the system running p4transfer having P4IGNORE=.p4ignore.txt. The contents of the .p4ignore.txt file were simply:

.git**

Solution was to make sure P4IGNORE was not set on the system. Perhaps p4transfer can unset it somehow when running, or at least prompt the user that it should be unset?

Or maybe better, use resolve -I instead
