Subject: [PATCH] git-p4: Work around race between p4_edit and p4_change

There exists a race in p4, such that p4_edit immediately followed by a p4_change will not show the new edits in the changelist template.

Instead of removing files not in our concerned depot from the Files: section we instead use p4_change as a template only up to the Files: section and then file in the files explicitly ourselves, since we know the full list of files and they current state, e.g. add, delete, edit.
