[p4] line endings

[Ivey, William]

The user shouldn't, but the admin might wonder why their
delta files are growing by leaps and bounds.

The text you quoted refers, I believe, to the behavior of
clients with respect to what is on the server, but if you
actually submit a file with all line endings changed, you
end up with a delta of every line in the file.

One common route to this is when someone on Windows passes
a file to a unix user for review and submission from their
environment.

I always understood it as "the deltas on the server are stored in
server-native format for speed, but a Perforce user should not know or
care how the server's storing it."
