I have been learning about cvsup using a test machine.  I am getting the
whole repository, and my /usr/src is made up of RELENG_4 tagged files.

A couple of weeks ago uname returned  '4.4-RC2'.  Today after a complete
'cvsup', 'cvs update' and rebuild - 
make buildworld 
make buildkernel 
make installkernel
make installworld         uname returns:

FreeBSD dougbsd 4.4-RC FreeBSD 4.4-RC #0: Fri Sep  7 11:41:04 CDT 2001

I was expecting a number after the 'RC'.  Where does this info come from
in the source tree?  Is the above what I should expect.

The first build was done with GENERIC.  Today's was customized to
eliminate some CPU types and APM.

Thanks,

Doug
