That is certainly possible. It is unfortunate the FreeBSD switch
from svn to git, but that a horse of a different color.

commit 05dfaadde4ae0f5d823836d5d849e3ba5ebdbf17
Author: Jean-Sébastien Pédron <dumbb...@freebsd.org>
Date: Sun Dec 22 19:10:23 2024 +0100
linuxkpi: Add `shrinker_alloc()` and `shrinker_free()`
They are used by the DRM drivers in Linux 6.7.
Bump `FreeBSD_version` because external drivers that use `struct
shrinker` will have to be recompiled.

So, the date here is completely useless and there is no indication
of when the commit actually occurred. As 'git log' should be an
easy way to see the history of a file, why is the date the change
was recorded in HEAD not displayed?
