what is the 'g' for?

That would have been a typo, I think.


the g is also in the uname output:

main-c421-gf20c0e331-dirty

git -C /usr/src checkout f20c0e331
M       sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC
HEAD is now at f20c0e331 caroot: drop $FreeBSD$ expansion from root bundle

yet I don't see any indication that anything changed, and now it wont update at all:

If something went wrong there’d be error output.
Git is *fast*, which can lead you to assume it’s not done anything when it has in fact done exactly what you asked. You should be on that commit now.


that was the full output, and nothing showing that it changed/reverted any files, and the contents of /usr/src/.git/refs/heads/main is still ead01bfe8618e879b3b23c6cf9f026eadcc7d2b3

is there another place to find the current revision of the source? the point here is to revert to a previous known working state of the source tree exactly like svnlite update -rXXXXXX /usr/src used to do, and svn could then update from that point again with the same command used to do regular update: svnlite update /usr/src

git -C /usr/src pull --ff-only
You are not currently on a branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
See git-pull(1) for details.

    git pull <remote> <branch>

Yes, you can’t merge to a detached head. Return to your original branch (presumably git checkout main) and then pull.

Kristof

the point is, there are only 4 commands we need to do this entire thing and it should be ironed out:

1. initially download the source tree
2. get the current local source tree revision
3. update the local source tree
4. revert local source tree to previous state

thanks for your input!
