This is a crucial piece of information lacking in the proposed
commit log message that would help readers understand why this is a
safe change.  An updated patch with a better log message would be
appreciated.

Yes to both.

It is unusual to see "reviewed-by" from those whose names do not
appear even once in output of "git shortlog --no-merges git-p4.py"
on a patch that touches "git-p4.py", but this is a fringe area
(compared to the more core-ish part of the system) where people
touch to scratch their own itch without staying around for a long
haul, so it is understandable that we do not always have resident
experts in the area.  A review like this is highly appreciated.

Thanks, all.
