From: Brandon Casey <drafnel@xxxxxxxxx> Since 'git describe' does not append -dirty to the version string it produces when untracked files exist in the working directory of the main repository, it should not do so for submodules either. Add --ignore-submodules=untracked to the call to diff-index which is used to decide whether or not the '-dirty' string is necessary.
