Take a look at the git-p4raw man page; it has that information, based on
some brief questions I asked people about which Perforce commands they
wanted emulated by the conversion tool.
Check this;
wget -q -O - \
'http://utsl.gen.nz/gitweb/?p=git-p4raw;a=blob_plain;f=git-p4raw' |
pod2man | nroff -man | less -r
(or git clone git://utsl.gen.nz/git-p4raw; cd git-p4raw;
git checkout stable; perldoc git-p4raw)

That's a good idea; probably worth doing along with the Porting/ tools
changes - but perhaps a wiki page will be a good start.

Well, people write programming cookbooks for Perl, too. It's a flexible
tool that just oozes TIMTOWTDI. It doesn't have a One True Workflow™,
so people write the commands which suits their workflow and project. I
think once you grok it you'll find it's not so bad.
