OK, I think we could just not add that in the case of an unshelved commit.

There's a "--origin" option you can use to set it to whatever you want.

I started out with HEAD as the default, but then found that to get a
sensible diff you have to both sync and rebase, which can be quite
annoying.

In my case, in my early testing, I ended up with a git commit which
included both the creation of a file, and a subsequent change, even
though I had only unshelved the subsequent change. That was because
HEAD didn't include the file creation change (but p4/master _did_).

OK, that should also be fixable.

Thanks for the feedback, very useful! I'll reroll.
