I would think the relatively thin state of the Perforce bundle would  
be a better hint. :)

Great! I've been hoping someone would step up. My workplace switched  
to Subversion, I've never used Perforce outside of work, and the  
amount of spare time I have is usually zero or negative.

But you need to convince Allan to give you write access. The best way  
to do that is probably to contribute a bunch of stuff to the Perforce  
bundle (or to other bundles as strikes your fancy) as patches or as a  
downloadable copy somewhere.
