 git-p4 has EXPERIMENTAL support for submitting changes from a git repository
 back to a Perforce depot. This requires a Perforce checkout separate to your
-git repository. This is the basic procedure:
+git repository. All it should take is calling
 
-    cd path/to/your/perforce/checkout
-    git-p4 submit --git-dir=/path/to/your/git/repository
+    git-p4 submit
 
-This will create a temporary git branch, use git-rev-list to find out which git
-commits are in your current branch but not in the "origin" branch. You can
-override the name of the "origin" branch by using the --origin=mybranch option.
-The "origin" branch has to be the branch populated with git-p4's sync

+corresponding to your imported depot path. By default the changes between your
+current branch and the "p4" branch will be submitted. If there is no "p4"
+branch the "origin" branch will be used as reference instead. You can override
+this with the --origin=mysourcebranch option. The "origin" branch has to be the
+branch populated with git-p4's sync operation.
 
 After some preparations (which might take a while) git-p4 enters a loop where
 it will first show a Perforce submit template and a diff of the change to

-issuing the "p4 submit" command and also gives you the option of editing the

+you really want to submit the change or not.
 
 If a submit fails you may have to "p4 resolve" and submit manually. You can
 continue importing the remaining changes with
 
-  git-p4 submit --git-dir=/path/to/your/git/repository --continue
+  git-p4 submit --continue
