Oh. Thanks or making me aware of the inappropriate phrases! 
Nobody reviewed these patches, yet! 

My intention was to let the reviewer know that this patch series is based on 
"master" and not on "maint". Sorry for the confusion!

The patch series "git-p4: kill watchdog and suppress irrelevant output" fixes
something annoying that I did not spot earlier. In other words it changes
"usable but a bit annoying (dfe90e8)" to "usable".

The patch series "git-p4: ignore P4 changelists that only touch files" changes 
"usable (4ae048e)" to "maybe even better" depending on the reviewers
opinion.

Thanks,
Lars
