Example: "Gathered & cut this code from files A, B, and C, because Client X changed their mind about situation Y, and now we can drop those special cases." Anything involving moving / deleting a lot of code. Adding comments to explain deleted code in several places really doesn't make sense.
I don't know about the viewer, but I'm going to look into this soon. We've used p4 for years and are strongly considering switching to git, and if so, I will be doing a lot of helping/explaining during the transition. I really dislike p4 as a VCS (though it was probably the best choice at the time), but agree its diff-viewing tool is actually quite good.
