That is interesting. I built a cheat sheet of Perforce vs.
CVS/Subversion commands at my last job, but I didn't take that
information with me.

I'd like to say because of my prodigious memory, I don't need a cheat
sheet. But you can't really say that if you can't even remember your
home phone number. It's embarrassing when you have to whip out your
PDA whenever someone asks for your phone number. Fortunately, I can't
remember the last time that happened to me.

I haven't really found a need for a Perforce cheat sheet due to the
built in online help.  You can get a list of the commands and their
description by typing "p4 help commands" and help on an individual
command by typing "p4 help <command>" where <command> is the command
you want help on. I also found if I put a "-?" after the command, it
gives me a quick synopsis of the parameters. There isn't anything
special about "-?" except that it's an invalid parameter for any
Perforce command.

I though I saw something in the Perforce documentation that is sort of
like a cheat sheet, but the command reference is about 275 pages long,
so that can't be it.
