fc68875 (t1501 (rev-parse): clarify, 2010-07-24) says it is a "possible

commit is entirely correct.
Because the assignment will strip the trailing LF away adding an extra
newline at the end would not matter in practice in many scripts, e.g.
True, and the current behavior does exactly what the man page says:
"When the command is invoked from a subdirectory, show the path of the
current directory relative to the top-level directory."
So then perhaps the test should be removed?
Also, --show-cdup has a similar description for the man page but does
output a newline when invoked from the root dir. Should this behavior be
made consistent?
