It is the same binary. Assuming you're running p4d 2013.1 too?
$ p4 info
[..]
Server version: P4D/LINUX26X86_64/2013.1/610569 (2013/03/19)
I'm using these p4 client settings:
Options: noallwrite noclobber nocompress unlocked nomodtime normdir
SubmitOptions: submitunchanged
LineEnd: unix
Running "strace -vf -s 2000 p4 print -q symlink" shows that the
newline is embedded in the response from p4d:
read(7, "...\0\0\0symlink-target\n\0func\0\23...", 4096) = 277
Also the file depot/symlink,v in the p4d depot area includes the
\n in the RCS file too, somewhat surprisingly:
$ cat depot/symlink,v
head 1.6;

Me too. That's annoying behavior, but not used by git-p4 fortunately.
The "-o -" option is only used for odd utf16 files where "p4 print"
generates invalid output.
