Hello all,

What, in your opinion, is the best way to prevent users from submitting
text files that use the 'wrong' (ie: Window's CR/LF) line ending style?

I've told all my P4 users that they should be using the 'share' line
ending property for their workspaces, but there's always one in a bunch
who'll forget.

My first thought was to write a trigger that would check all text files
on check in, but that might get a little onerous on the server,
especially when creating a new branch with 17,000 files in it.

Any suggestions I haven't thought of?

Thanks

JDG
