[p4] change filetypes for whole subtree?

[steve@vance.com]

If you changed it back through Perforce commands, you wouldn't get the
original $Id$ strings back. You could potentially do it through checkpoint
surgery, i believe. I think the values are in there, they just aren't being
preserved on sync and further edit and submit. Check with support on
checkpoint surgery.

The Perforce commands to change it back would be

p4 edit -t text //path/to/CVS/stuff/...
p4 submit

But you need to know that they are all text files first. If there are any
binaries, it may corrupt them.

Greetings,

I used cvs2p4 and it created all the files as type ktext, which I'd
like to undo.
Can I change all the files back and get the original $Id $ values
which were imported?
I want to verify the cvs checked out files match the perforce checked
out imported files,
and of course since the $Id $ is getting expanded all files are
showing differences..

Thanks,
Bill
