H A Dsetlocalversiondiff ffaf62a8050b5f7995083ee93526b57d8d79fec4 Sun May 23 05:14:26 CEST 2021 Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> scripts/setlocalversion: add more comments to -dirty flag detection

This script stumbled on the read-only source tree over again:

- a2bb90a08cb3 ("kbuild: fix delay in setlocalversion on readonly
source")

- cdf2bc632ebc ("scripts/setlocalversion on write-protected source
tree")

- 8ef14c2c41d9 ("Revert "scripts/setlocalversion: git: Make -dirty
check more robust"")

- ff64dd485730 ("scripts/setlocalversion: Improve -dirty check with
git-status --no-optional-locks")

Add comments to clarify that this script should never ever try to write
to the source tree.

'git describe --dirty' might look as a simple solution for appending
the -dirty string, but we cannot use it because it creates the
.git/index.lock file.
