r339438 is a revision in stable/11. r339435 is a revision in stable/12. That bit of confusion illustrates why I believe that it's useful for uname to show the revision of the branch in question as of the last time the sources were updated, rather than (just) the last revision that happened to be committed to the entire repository as of the last time the sources were updated. Thus, I have uname strings like: FreeBSD localhost 11.2-STABLE FreeBSD 11.2-STABLE #770 r339442M/339445: Fri Oct 19 03:45:47 PDT 2018 r...@g1-215.catwhisker.org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY amd64 FreeBSD localhost 11.2-STABLE FreeBSD 11.2-STABLE #771 r339446M/339530: Sun Oct 21 03:37:18 PDT 2018 root@localhost:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY amd64 FreeBSD localhost 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #144 r339436M/339445: Fri Oct 19 15:59:43 PDT 2018 root@localhost:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/CANARY amd64 FreeBSD localhost 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #145 r339530M/339530: Sun Oct 21 04:46:46 PDT 2018 root@localhost:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/CANARY amd64 See the bottom of <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/history/> for additional details, if you're interested.
