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

In short, I'm not sure, but very likely. Currently there is a
stranding issue that Jenkins doesn't provide an easy way to get
abbreviated commit hash. This is not a blocking issue, and there are
still waysto get it, but may need more time to test and implement.

I haven't decided what is the best to put into the build description
(and even haven't taught ci.freebsd.org about git. but should be
soon!)
I was thinking just using the abbreviated commit hash, but it might be
a good idea to also prefix or suffix the commits count. I'll check if
it is possible and easy to get this.  I'm not sure it still needs to
include the branch name in the build description, as it is already in
the job name, and on artifact.freebsd.org, there are parent
directories with branch names.

Best,
