As I understand it, the revision ID refers to the whole repository, not just a branch. So if you do your own svn checkout tomorrow, you'll get yet another revision number, even though the files will (probably) be completely identical to what you checked out yesterday -- ongoing commits to HEAD will keep kicking the revision number up. There is work going on to make system builds completely, bit-for-bit, repeatable, but that will presumably mean getting rid of this revision number information, not making it consistent. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
