Ha! This post comes right at the time where I finally got around to open sourcing the patches I made to provide Perforce support which I use at my gamedev studio[0].
I find it kind of funny that perforce support was not included, only git support seems to exist in any meaningful way: despite the primary use of copybara being for releasing internal google code (which lives in Piper, a fork of Perforce).
I actually got a bit worried when looking at the git history before making the PR, because there's a lot of Gerrit Change-ID markers (meaning there's some gerrit code review system somewhere which I'm not privvy too) and I might have submitted a PR which never gets upstreamed..
I feel the same pang of pain from the lack of a perforce version of Gerrit/Rietveld.. but, you can't ask for everything!
