That was indeed the idea behind Git Fusion:

https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/git-fusion/#Git-Fusion/section_avy_hyc_gl.html%3FTocPath%3D_____2

Essentially, Git Fusion would translate from the Git data model into the
standard Perforce data model, so commits become normal Perforce changelists in a
standard Perforce depot (which allows interoperation between Git and Perforce).

Graph depots are a completely different animal; you can store a git repo in a
graph depot, but there isn't any way to connect that to a
"classic" or "stream" depot that I'm aware of.
