Sorry - I've not had a chance to look at this before now. But a couple 
of comments:

  - Is there a line wrap problem in the patch? It doesn't seem to want 
to apply for me.

  - needs an update to the documentation in git-p4.txt

  - is there any way to eliminate the slightly ugly 
"if/pass/else/do-stuff" construct?

  - I'd think if you turned off the editor completely then there's no 
point doing the submit-edit-check.

  - You probably need to follow the instructions in 
Documentation/SubmittingPatches so that Junio will pay attention to the 
patch.

Regards!
