This is mad! :)
The easiest solution is the one that I proposed in the PR, which is to
use the effective date of the latest date in the $FreeBSD$ files.
Of course this means going through each source file, but that's only
time. Doing anything with CVSROOT/ and cvsup, etc, is complexity that
isn't needed.
l=`find /usr/src/sys | xargs grep '\$FreeBSD:.*$' | sed \
's/.*\$FreeBSD://' | awk '{ print $3 "-" $4 }' | sort -n | tail -1`
Kind of thing.
Joe
