Well, allegedly perforce is used in quite some places (VMWare, for one, 
a.k.a. "the makers of Review Board").

At the time the interfaces were designed, I was still using perforce 
directly (and was more active in KDE development; I wish I could get 
back to that :-( ). However I got so tired of trying to work with change 
sets that I finally dumped my existing perforce checkout into a git 
repository. So, technically, I'm now using a combination of git with 
hand-written scripts to sync against the master (perforce) repo, and 
KDev's VCS integration (of which I'd need to use the git backend) is 
only partly useful to me :-D.

Git's trivial branching is a godsend... ;-)

So if it makes sense to drop some of the stuff that was there for 
perforce (which is rather an oddball of a VCS), I'm not likely to object.
