[p4] The story of the null delta.

[Shawn Hladky]

Server version 2006.2 gives you a variety of options you can set on your
client that will determine what happens to unchanged files.  From the
release notes:

	New client option 'SubmitOptions' - #106812 **

	    The new 'p4 client' field 'SubmitOptions' allows the user to
	    alter the behavior of submit.  The six different values for
	    this field affects what happens to unchanged files and if
	    submitted files are reopened.  For more details see 'p4 help
	    client'.

	    SubmitOptions             unchanged       submitted
	    value                     files           files
	    ----------------------------------------------------
	    submitunchanged           submitted
	    submitunchanged+reopen    submitted       reopened
	    revertunchanged           reverted
	    revertunchanged+reopen    reverted        reopened
	    leaveunchanged            left open
	    leaveunchanged+reopen     left open       reopened

	    In addition 'p4 submit' now sports a '-f option' flag.  This
	    allows the user to override the SubmitOption which is set in
	    the client.

	    e.g.  p4 submit -f leaveunchanged
