D'oh. It's already in a separate commit.
I'll re-roll fixing that documentation.

I think it will be fine to change the branch that the unshelving
happens into - I think it's very unlikely anyone is basing some
automated scripts on this, because of the way that unshelving is used
anyway.

I don't think it's a particularly serious breakage - it reports the
branch it unshelves to, so it should be fairly obvious.

However, maybe it would make sense to pull this into a separate commit
to make it more obvious? I should have thought of that before
submitting.

Yes, I think another reason to pull into a separate commit.

I am not a p4 user (and not a git-p4 user), so it is a bit hard for
me to assess if this is a backward incompatibile change and if so
how serious potential breakage to existing users would be.

Isn't this "p4-unshelved/12345" now?
