Yes and no.

<https://old.reddit.com/comments/keme3b/-/ggs61in/?context=1> there's an 
example command that shows a FreeBSD-CURRENT Git revision number of 11 
following an update.

The phrase 'revision number' might be not technically accurate, but the 
numbers _are_ sequential.

The command uses the '--count' option of
git-rev-list(1)

Re: uname(1), I'll respond to your second e-mail.

Kind regards
