[PATCH 0/2] git-p4: unshelve uses HEAD^n, not HEAD~n

[Luke Diamand]

Jackson(Xuhui) Liu found that git-p4 unshelve fails, and suggested a
fix.

I have updated the tests to spot the error, and added his suggested fix,
which also works for me.

[PATCH 1/2] git-p4 unshelve: adding a commit breaks git-p4 unshelve

[Luke Diamand]

git-p4 unshelve uses HEAD^$n to find the parent commit, which
fails if there is an additional commit.

It was a bit difficult understanding the purpose of this patch based
upon the commit message alone. It might be clearer if written like
this:

    git-p4: demonstrate `unshelve` bug

    `git p4 unshelve` uses HEAD^$n to find the parent commit, which
    fails if there is an additional commit. Augment the tests to
    demonstrate this problem.

Strange indentation of the new line. Use TAB rather than spaces.

This commit message repeats what the patch itself says but doesn't
explain why this change is being made or what problem is being solved.
Some explanation to help readers understand the problem would be
welcome.

I believe this would generally be stated as Reported-by:.
