It was hg until just a few months ago. Don't assume it will be git
this time next year.
Also, I am not a fan of /dev/head. I'd prefer to see this as an attribute
of /dev/config, perhaps added to the start of its output:
term% cat /dev/config
# kernel version xyzzy
#
# pc64 - amd64 pc terminal with local disk
[...]
term%
'xyzzy' can be whatever version string is appropriate.
To be clear, I'm talking about having the /dev/config driver synthesize
those first two lines whenever someone does a read on the file.
