[PATCH v2 0/4] git-p4: add hook p4-pre-edit-changelist

["Ben Keene via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

Our company's workflow requires that our P4 check-in messages have a
specific format. A helpful feature in the GIT-P4 program would be a hook
that occurs after the P4 change list is created but before it is displayed
in the editor that would allow an external program to possibly edit the
changelist text.

v1:My suggestion for the hook name is p4-pre-edit-changelist.

It would take a single parameter, the full path of the temporary file. If
the hook returns a non-zero exit code, it would cancel the current P4
submit.

The hook should be optional.

v2:Instead of a single hook, p4-pre-edit-changelist, follow the git
convention for hook names and add the trio of hooks that work together,
similar to git commit.

The hook names are: 

 * p4-prepare-changelist
 * p4-changelist
 * p4-post-changelist

The hooks should follow the same convention as git commit, so a new command
line option for the git-p4 submit function --no-verify should also be added.

  git-p4: rewrite prompt to be Windows compatible
  git-p4: create new method gitRunHook
  git-p4: add hook p4-pre-edit-changelist
  git-p4: add p4 submit hooks
