Subject: [PATCH] git p4: Use git diff-tree instead of format-patch

From: Crestez Dan Leonard <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:19:03 +0200

The output of git format-patch can vary with user preferences. In
particular setting diff.noprefix will break the "git apply" that
is done as part of "git p4 submit".
