It is a very nice script.

However I need more than just one message, and I need to be able to "patch
in" several messages. I think that another way of solving this would be to
use triggers. Though I do not really like this idea due to its performance
impact, which has been mentioned at the conference.

Native Perforce support for at least the date, time, user, and change is a
compromise I could live with for now. The envisioned user-defineable stuff
would however be another "killer feature" of Perforce.

So, dear Perforce team, what do YOU think?
