Description Mark Willson 2014-05-01 11:10:00 UTC 
uname -a displays a svn rev number which appears to be from the 'top' of the svn repository, not the latest revision in the current branch (releng/10.0 in my case).

With the attached patch the uname -a output would look like:

FreeBSD topaz 10.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p2 #0 r265124: Wed Apr 30 18\
:35:11 BST 2014     root@cobalt:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

Now it shows the actual revision for the -p2 update. This I would find useful; not sure how many other people would agree.

Fix: Add -c argument to /usr/bin/svnliteversion, and extract release number.

See attached patch.

With the migration to git we no longer have this situation.
