+[http://www.perforce.com/ Perforce] is a popular centralized commercial revision control system that's used in many corporate environments.  It can only be used as a SourceRepository at this time using the prefix '''p4:'''
+
+== Usage ==
+
+Below is an example config used during testing:
+
+{{{
+[jam]
+root-directory = /tmp/jamstate/
+source = p4:jam
+target = hg:jam
+state-file = jam.state
+
+[p4:jam]
+# Perforce "port" (in this case, the public server perforce maintains)
+p4-port=public.perforce.com:1666
+# The name of your client
+p4-client=myhostname-tailortest
+# The path within the depot to track (used both to find changes as well as map files)
+depot-path = //public/jam/src/
+# Place where the files will show up after a sync
+root-directory=/tmp/pubtest/jam/
+
+[hg:jam]
+# Note:  Using the same root-directory as above.
+root-directory=/tmp/pubtest/jam/
+}}}
+
+The perforce client used above contains the following root and view:
+
+{{{
+[...]
+
+Root:   /tmp/pubtest/
+
+View:
+        //public/jam/src/... //myhostname-tailortest/jam/...
+
+[...]
