Update problem with $FreeBSD$ in nearly all /etc/*

Hi all,
i tried to update one of my jails to 13.0, but freebsd-update finds in nearly all /etc/ files instead of the normal
# $FreeBSD$
the following entry
# $FreeBSD: releng/12.1/usr.sbin/cron/cron/crontab 338497 2018-09-06 14:55:54Z brd $

I tried a 'sed' i all this files but this made things even worse. So zfs rollback and now i'm here.
Have anybody a solution howto fix this?
Thanks
Gav
 
The jail was previously a 12.1? Then those are correct, the $id line was removed when the source migrated from SVN to git. So it's expected that those lines are now mostly empty. On systems from before the migration, i.e. 12.x, 11.x, etc. those lines indicated a SVN $Id.

It was a 12.1, but i upgraded it to 12.2. Something must have gone wrong with this jail.
I wasn't able to fix this problem easily, so i decided to make a new jail and transferred my config and data. I think that's the best solution to avoid future problems.
Thanks for your answer

The upgrade should have replaced them with an $Id referencing 12.2. So something went wrong at that point. Probably a merging issue.

When it comes to upgrading from one version to another, yes. Patch updates should be fine to do in a jail but major or minor version upgrades are always a little tricky. Do you use any jail management tools or did you build them by hand? Those jail tools are usually a little better when it comes to version upgrades.
