The place where this is all set up is /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh The
logic there is fairly complicated as it supports svn, git, hg and p4
VCSes. However, the usual way it works is by running svnversion --
that's part of the svn port.
% svnversion /usr/src
295073M
If that fails, it will try running svnliteversion, and then cycle
through various different ways of extracting a version string from other
VCSes until it gets a result.
So, if you don't need SVN installed locally, you could create a small
shell script as /usr/local/bin/svnversion that runs 'head -1
/var/tmp/svnup/stable'
Cheers,
Matthew
