I think it is fine for the test to not place .p4 files
since that is representative of real use cases.

I think that would be a great way to refactor DetectVCS.
It would avoid putting VCS-tool-specific knowledge (the
directory name) in the main class.  The existing classes
for other tools would just look for its control directory
and P4 could run the tool.
