[p4] Problems with windows p4v

[Stephen Vance]

Unless you have allwrite set, nothing synced on Linux should come out 
with a 6.

As for your colleague's situation, it actually sounds like it's coming 
out correctly. Things like execute bits won't be set because Windows 
doesn't know about those, but the read-only nature is absolutely correct.

Under Linux, the umask will affect the permissions, but under Linux 
mounted to Windows, the Linux export and the mount setting may affect 
the permissions.

Basically, if preserving Unix permissions is important, you really need 
to sync on Linux.
