[p4] Question about headTime.

[Ivey, William]

I just checked the output of p4 fstat and it certainly looks like
utc time to me. Most of the other commands do translate from utc to
local time.

When looking at the time stamp on a given client machine, you have
to know what the file type of the file in question says about time.
There is an option to use the submitted or synced time locally. I
think I'd stick with p4 fstat for accuracy.
