Can perforce be adjusted so I don’t need to ‘open files for edit’? Someone told me that this was a ‘feature’, and that s/he guessed it could be turned off.

    See http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.081/manuals/p4guide/02_config.html (section Configuring workspace options). You can set the allwrite option, but even then you would have to do the offline synchronization or something like checking out all files and doing p4 revert -a (revert unchanged files) to find out which files you changed.
