One thing I wondered about is whether this should be enabled by
default or not. Long-time users of git-p4 might be a bit surprised to
find their git commits suddenly gaining an extra Job: field.
Ahh, I didn't even wonder about but that is not because I didn't
think it matters.
Does this change affect reproducibility of importing the history
from P4, doesn't it? Would that be a problem?
How common is it to have the "extra" Job: thing in the history on P4
side? If the answer to this question is "on rare occasions and only
when there is a very good reason to have 'jobs' associated with the
changelist", then the 'might be a bit surprised' brought by this
change can probably be explained away as "a fix to a (design) bug
that used to discard crucial information" that (unfortunately) have
to change the resulting Git object names.
