[p4] Integrating file-type changes automatically?

[Julian Foad]

Anyone written a script to integrate file-type changes (especially
adding or removing the "k" and "x" modifiers) during a normal
integration?

For those who aren't familiar with the problem, it's that "integ"
ignores file type changes by default, and the only built-in alternative
is the "integ -t" option which blindly copies the file-type information
from the source file to the destination file regardless of whether it's
been changed on either (or both).

Using this option manually is too prone to user error. Ideally, we wish
these changes would be integrated just like file-content changes are,
including conflict resolution. As a good-enough solution we are looking
for something (a trigger script, probably) that at least handles the
type having been changed on either the source or the destination but not
both, and propagates it or not accordingly.

If no-one has written such a thing, is that because it's difficult or
there's a better way?

Thanks.
