Thanks to all who responded and helped me to understand what to expect. = Pointing me to git-rev-list(1) has been very helpful. I came to the conclusion that I will name my BE by date and time of = latest pull before buildworld or buildkernel, e.g. 2025_0955. That will = help me to make decision as mentioned above. With kind regards, Michael
