            Bug ID: 252664
           Summary: change "-dirty" uname -v designator to something less
                    obtrusive
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd at oldach.net

Since migration to git, a build from a modified tree would show up tagged as
"-dirty", e.g.

FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE #0 df592782db9(stable/12)-dirty

This will also show up to innocent end users through motd, potentially
suggesting they are connecting to a system that is kind of "dirty" in some way
and requires cleaning or so.

Can we please change this back to something less obtrusive? With svn, we simply
had an "M" (for "modified") designator attached to the revision (generated by
svnversion).

s/-dirty/M/ applied to newvers.sh should be sufficient.
