            Bug ID: 252664
           Summary: change "-dirty" uname -v designator to something less
                    obtrusive
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd@oldach.net

Since migration to git, a build from a modified tree would show up tagged as
"-dirty", e.g.

FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE #0 df592782db9(stable/12)-dirty

This will also show up to innocent end users through motd, potentially
suggesting they are connecting to a system that is kind of "dirty" in some =
way
and requires cleaning or so.

Can we please change this back to something less obtrusive? With svn, we si=
mply
had an "M" (for "modified") designator attached to the revision (generated =
by
svnversion).

s/-dirty/M/ applied to newvers.sh should be sufficient.
