Is there some docs anywhere? Any FreeBSD committer (src or otherwise) can create an account for themselves. Peter has a quick guide for doing that using your freefall account at http://people.freebsd.org/~peter/p4cookbook.txt. You'll want to skim that, and then take a look through the pretty decent documentation at www.perforce.com on how to use it. If you've only ever used CVS as a revision control system, there's some culture shock. If you've used other systems that have three-way merging, notions of server state, etc, then it should fall out pretty naturally. :-) We've started using it extensively at work after our very positive experience using the FreeBSD Project's Perforce server for some of the TrustedBSD work.
