Perforce will do this if you let it. Or you can set the LineEnd option
for the client to be Unix or Share.
This was in fact my original patch attempt, however it had the following
problems:
* You can only set this option for an entire ClientSpec, not
individual files.
* Some editors (Notepad & Crimson Editor) don't support just LF.
* Perforce messes up files on check-in. We haven't tracked down the exact
cause yet, but some files modified on systems with LineEnd=unix are
being fetched with only LF on systems with LineEnd=local.
Basically we can't 'infect' a mostly Windows source-tree with LF
terminated files, whether the LFs are only resident on peoples local
Windows boxes, or checked in to the Perforce repository.
