Subject: git-p4: Jobs and skipSubmitEdit
Message-ID: <CAFLRbop2aETNp0-6AdvSTx7Jmh7epYZ6rQc6hhFHbxZrGdEo9g@mail.gmail.com>

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
