[p4] no write permissions to files after p4 sync

[Todd Short (tshort)]

This is by design. 

The files are marked read-only to prevent you from making changes
without checking them out. If you want to make changes so that you can
submit them to the source database, your need to 'p4 edit' them first.
Using 'p4 edit' allows Perforce to keep track of who is editing what
files and makes various operations easier.

If for some reason, you need a file to always be writable (which is
usually an exception), 'p4 edit' the file, then use the 'p4 reopen -t'
command to change to type to a writable type (something+w), and then 'p4
submit' the file. If you are losing execution privilege, there is also a
+x option to enable that.
