And thus with Perforce you can't force (to my knowledge) different line
endings on different text files in your project. That's a bit annoying when
you want to provide, say, a UNIX makefile and a Windows/MSVC++ makefile.
Of course, when the project is checked-out, you get the correct line endings
for your platform, but that's not what you want if you want to pack everything
in a tarball for public release.
