git-p4: Jobs and skipSubmitEdit

Hello,

I've written a git prepare-commit-msg hook to do what the Perforce JobsView would essentially do, so I can include the jobs directly in my git commit message, and then use git-p4.skipSubmitEdit=true, so I can just push things into Perforce directly from git without ever being prompted by Perforce.

Problem is that this doesn't work, because git-p4 tabs in the entire commit message to put it in the "Description:" section of the Perforce changelist, and my "Jobs:" ends up tabbed in, and it it required by Perforce to be at the beginning of the line. The submit ends up failing, because "Jobs:" is required. I am forced to turn off skipSubmitEdit and edit the message to remove the tab from the "Jobs:" line each commit.

Is there any option to make this work right, or does the git-p4 not support this?

Thanks,
Mike
