make-kpkg modifies scripts/package/Makefile and deletes
scripts/package/builddeb as part of its build process. Ignore these
changes so the tree isn't marked as -dirty, when it is just an
artifact of make-kpkg. (make-kpkg clean restores the files to their
original state, and these helper scripts won't affect the final
compiled kernel in any way.)

If git's index file is out of date, and some files have been touched
such that their timestamp doesn't what is in the index, "git
diff-index HEAD" may show that a particular file is dirty, when in
fact it really isn't. Running "git update-index" will update the
index to avoid these false positives.

Change the automatic local version to have the form -nnnnn-gSHA1SUMID,
where 'nnnnn' is the number of commits since the last tag (i.e.,
2.6.21-rc7). This makes it much more likely that the package names created
for the kernel will look "newer" to a package manager.

This represents mercurial changesets similarly to git. For untagged
revisions, append the changeset id. If there are uncommitted changes,
append -dirty. For example, -hgc60016ba6237-dirty

adds revision suffix for untagged commits that are reachable from a tag
I'm bisecting and don't get the -g...... suffix. The reason is, that
git name-rev --tags HEAD
returns e.g.
HEAD tags/v2.6.17-rc1^0~1067
which is currently good enough for setlocalversion to skip the suffix.
This introduces a dependecy to grep -E, which should be fine.

When building Debian packages directly from the git tree, the appended
"git_dirty" is a problem due to the underscore. In order to cause the
least problems, change that just to "dirty".

Currently scripts/setlocalversion is a Perl script that tries to figure
out the current git commit ID of a repo without using git. It also
imports Digest::MD5 without using it and generally is too big for the
small task it does. :] And it always reports a git ID, even when the
HEAD is tagged -- this is a bug.
This patch replaces it with a Bourne Shell script that uses git
commands to do the same. I can't come up with a scenario where someone
would use a git repo and refuse to install git core at the same time,
so I think it's reasonable to assume git is available.
The new script also reports uncommitted changes by adding -git_dirty to
the version string. Obviously you can't see from that _what_ has been
changed from the last commit, so it's more of a reminder that you
forgot to commit something.
The script is easily extensible: simply add a check for Mercurial (or
whatever) below the git check.
Note: the script doesn't print a newline char anymore. That's only
because it was easier to implement it that way, not a feature (or bug).
'make kernelrelease' doesn't care.

If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the
current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and
the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string. This makes it
easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your
older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.
