For main, will ci.freebsd.org display under "Build description" text like: main-c255728-g99d1a7829f88 ?

What sort of text will appear under "Build description" for
htts://ci.frebsd.org once main finally starts getting CI
builds again?

Will it be like the uname output (invented example)?:

main-c255728-g99d1a7829f88

If yes, that allows selecting the order of display for
Build description to usually track the order of the
commits (for main anyway).

Absent such, is something else to be done to make it more
more reasonable to identify such? (Add a main commit time
that could be sorted on or some such?)

Historically I've used ci.freebsd reports to avoid stepping
into a range problematical for builds, picking a vintage
that worked for each of: amd64, aarch64, powerpc64, armv7,
powerpc (the FreeBSD contexts that I have access to). Doing
this I've sorted the display by "Build description". 

ci.freebsd.org has also been handy to point at for asking
about commits that break building for some of those
contexts.

(I'm not sure why main [no svn involved] has no
builds/build-reporting yet on ci.freebsd.org. May be it
is to deal with such issues or various things just are
not ready yet, even without a conversion to svn being
involved for those builds.)
