[talk] FreeBSD question: uname info versus svn commit versus __FreeBSD_version define

I am trying to determine whether a particular snapshot of FreeBSD 
contains code which was committed for the purpose of fixing a bug which 
I helped to report.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211743#c10 states:

#####
Based on __FreeBSD_version define the fix is in:
1200004 and up
1100502 >= version < 1200000
1003507 >= version < 1100000
#####

I have installed a Virtual Box holding a FreeBSD whose 'uname -a' 
information is as follows:

#####
FreeBSD  12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r305028: Mon Aug 29 
22:45:29 UTC 2016 
root at releng3.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
#####

How can I determine whether that version of FreeBSD is recent enough to 
have included the code correction?

Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
