[p4] perforce vs. subversion

[Zoltan Grose]

Sure it does:

[TigerG5:~] zgrose% p4 -V
Perforce - The Fast Software Configuration Management System.
Copyright 1995-2005 Perforce Software.  All rights reserved.
Rev. P4/DARWIN60PPC/2005.2/90475 (2005/12/15).

[TigerG5:~] zgrose% p4 help add

     add -- Open a new file to add it to the depot

     p4 add [ -c changelist# ] [ -f -n ] [ -t filetype ] file ...

...snip...

         The -n flag displays what would be opened for add without  
actually
         changing any files or metadata.
