Revisions for official releases on stable branch

Hi all!

I have a question about tracking a stable branch. Let us say that I track 10/stable. How can I see what revision that is used for an official release? I.e. how can I learn that 10.1 is revision XXXX on 10/stable, for example?

Thanks!
 
There is no such direct correspondence because the SVN branch for 10.1 releng/10.1 will be branched (copied in other words) from stable/10 when the time is right. After the branching the releng/10.1 branch will live its own life independent of stable/10 and very likely receives many commits before it is even called a final release version. You can however figure out the revision when the brancing happened by looking at the SVN logs of the release branch.
 
It turns out that you can use the --stop-on-copy option with svnlite log to stop the history at the first branch point (backwards from newest revision). For example this is what I got on releng/10.0 when I ran svnlite log --stop-on-copy in /usr/src:

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
  10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
    start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
    a value ending in zero.

This means commit number r259065 was the point where stable/10 was copied as releng/10.0.
