[p4] Trying to avoid adding files with mac line endings

[Biswajit Dash]

Hi Jay,

You will have to modify the "LineEnd" option of the
client workspace from which the developer is
- Creating/saving files from MAC through Samba.

LineEnd: Share


Please go through the following technical Note for
details.

You can also look at 
p4 help client
See the LineEnd:  option for the client workspace.

Regards,
Biswajit
