[p4] I line ending proposal

[Jason Williams]

It sounds like many different people have many different requirements around this.
Maybe I missed some of the thread, but has anyone considered using a trigger to handle this kinda thing?
People seem to know exactly which files they want with which line ending.
I know some apps (Visual Studio) are pretty picky about the line endings on its files.
 
The trigger would likely work the same as modifications to the typemap.
 
Just a thought...

Here's my idea of what I'd like to see as far as text file line ending

handling in Perforce. Thought I'd toss this out for comment.



Introduce a file type modifier which coerces a file into the desired

type, allowing the setting to be applied file-by-file or through

typemap:

            +W      CR/LF

            +U       LF

            +M       CR



Add a new LineEnd: option, "filetype", which responds to the new

file type modifier and could be added to an existing option as in:

            unix,filetype

            share,filetype

            etc.



Unmodified options would retain their current meanings.
