[p4] Submit comments without line breaks

[Robert Cowham]

A trigger could do this.

Alternatively, you can edit the comments after the fact and tidy them up -
might not be too painful if it's only once in a while? 

>From p4 help change:

       The -f flag can force the update or deletion of other users' pending
       changelists.  -f can also force the deletion of submitted changelists
       once they have been emptied of files via 'p4 obliterate'.  Normally,
       submitted changelists are immutable.  The -f flag requires 'admin'
       access granted by 'p4 protect'. The -f and -u flags are mutually
       exclusive.

       The -u flag can force the update of a submitted change by the owner
       of the change. Only the Jobs and Description fields can be changed
       using the -u flag. The -f and -u flags cannot be used in the same
       change command.

The -u has been around since 2007.2, although see 2008.1 release notes:

	#149573 **
	    'p4 change -u' no longer requires both the username and 
	    workspace of the user to match those of the owner of the 
	    submitted change. Now only the username needs to match.
