From
Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org>
Date

Message-ID
<1304763583-17425-2-git-send-email-luke@diamand.org>
In-Reply-To
<1304763583-17425-1-git-send-email-luke@diamand.org>
. Slightly more paranoid checking of results from 'p4 change'
. Remove superfluous "-G"
. Don't modify the username if it is unchanged.
. Add a comment in the change template to show what is
  going to be done.
