Can't tell which Perforce a Git commit comes from.

When Git Fusion exports changes to Git, it references the Perforce changelist number, like this:

commit 863d864aab4c755ad68c96b50e38ecdb10177624

Author: Nick Barnes <nb@ravenbrook.com>

Date:   2015-10-13 15:19:12 +0100


   Improve documentation of MPS_FIX_CALL(): the called function must use MPS_SCAN_BEGIN and MPS_SCAN_END itself.


   Copied from Perforce

    Change: 188410


This is good (I asked for it way back when).  But it doesn't say *which* Perforce.  There should be a server id of some sort.
17214Adding a "ServerID" field to the "Copied from Perforce" block that appears in commit comments copied from Perforce servers by Git Fusion, so that there is a complete audit trail back to the origin of a change.
 Without this you can't tell *which* Perforce a change comes from, causing confusion if more than one Perforce participate in a Git repo.  Also, if someone stumbles apon a Git repo that has changes from Perforce, they have a chance of contacting the correct organisation about those changes.
