Subject: [PATCH v5 05/22] git-p4: convert descriptive class and function comments into docstrings

From: Joel Holdsworth <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2022 15:24:47 +0100

Previously, a small number of functions, methods and classes were
documented using comments. This patch improves consistency by converting
these into docstrings similar to those that already exist in the script.
