Yes and no.

<https://old.reddit.com/comments/keme3b/-/ggs61in/?context=1>; there's an 
example command that shows a FreeBSD-CURRENT Git revision number of 11 
following an update.

The phrase 'revision number' might be not technically accurate, but the 
numbers _are_ sequential.

The command uses the '--count' option of
git-rev-list(1) 
<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=git-rev-list&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+12.2-RELEASE+and+Ports>;

Re: uname(1), I'll respond to your second e-mail.

Kind regards
Graham
