I would like to write a post on how to use them, but I'm a bit
confused as to how people actually use them on a day to day basis.  I
appears to me in trying to work out a flow for them that the lack of
an ability to merge them makes them very difficult to use for anything
practical.  Can someone share with me how they use them and what the
cycle is?

I do.  I use them to automatically store a matching Perforce revision 
number for a given Git commit.  Only the server assigns them due to the 
merging issues.  I also change the ref, so they read as p4notes.

It irks me, though, that they show in the gitk --all view.  ARGH!
