Thanks in advance! It means the original fix was applied to CURRENT (what is also known as HEAD), and then backported to RELENG_7 (what you would call FreeBSD 7.x-STABLE) on 2008/03/20. MFC stands for Merge From CURRENT. You can confirm this by looking at cvsweb for the file in question: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/usb/ums.c The change for HEAD/CURRENT was made in Revision 1.98 (date = Mar 12) The MFC to RELENG_7 was made in Revision 1.96.2.1 (date = Mar 20) If you csup your src tree (use /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile) the patched code will be downloaded and used. You'll have to rebuild world to get the changes, of course.
