script entry to finding the version after a cvsup

[Paul Hamilton]

Hi Kent,

Thanks for that tip off. After lots of digging around in google, I found
this site:

http://simon.nitro.dk/freebsd-tips.php

that mentions how to use script: newvers.sh

grep -E 'BRANCH|REVISION' /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh

Cool.

Cheers,

paul

Look at
/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
