Thanks for the patch, but I'm curious how you'd like this to
work.  I never use the option myself.

As it is, --prepare-p4-only generates a file in /tmp/ that has
exactly the contents you'd see in the editor during "git p4
submit".  It includes the diff of the change, presumably to help
with writing the description.

Now you can't actually feed this file directly to "p4 submit"
without deleting the diff.  That's the part you don't like?
