[p4] P4, newline, Windows and Unix

[Blum, Robert]

Hi all!

We recently started using perforce, and have one major problem:

Part of our development happens on *nix machines, while our developers
happily live on Windows machines. Files get modified using both
environments, but P4 is usually used through the GUI. This leads to the
whole newline problem. 

If we modify a file in Windows, or even do a p4 edit from windows, every
line gets a ^M appended. So far, so good. Now when we do some editing under
Unix, we usually remove all the ^M characters and are fine. However, the GUI
client (especially diff) does not like that at all - it shows the whole file
to be different, even though nothing changed.

Is there any way to force diff under Windows to ignore changes to the
end-of-line character?

Thanks,
  Robert
