[p4] Only allowing 1 person to edit file

[Jamison, Shawn]

Why not use a prefix to a file name.

You could have protect table entries like this.

	read group * * -//depot/.../secure_*.* 
	write group Only_me //depot/.../secure_*.*

That way Everyone can read the file but users in the Only_me group can
write.

I've gotten a couple of suggestions to use the +l filetype. This won't
do what I need. That will allow only one person to check it out for
editing. But in order to prevent users from editing it, that file would
need to remain checked out all the time by the one person that can edit
it. If they forget, then anyone can edit it.
