Ack, that's emabarrasing. How did that get there :-)?

Anyway, the other suggestion I had was to create a new command
instead of overriding behaviour of an existing one. Of course,
copy-pasting P4Submit into P4Change is silly, so...

How about something like this?

The commands dict maps command name to class and optional dict passed to cmd.run(). That way 'change'
can really mean P4Submit with an extra parameter not to submit but to do a changelist instead. The
reason why I initially made the config flag was because I didn't want to copy-paste P4Submit into P4Change.

commands = {
    "debug" : [ P4Debug, {} ]
    "submit" : [ P4Submit, { "doChange" : 0 } ]
    "commit" : [ P4Submit, { "doChange" : 0 } ]
    "change" : [ P4Submit, { "doChange" : 1 } ]
    "sync" : [ P4Sync, {} ],
    "rebase" : [ P4Rebase, {} ],
    "clone" : [ P4Clone, {} ],
    "rollback" : [ P4RollBack, {} ],
    "branches" : [ P4Branches, {} ]
}

Thanks for the review,
