When building under the control of the "fakeroot" tool [*], as is the case when building a Debian package using "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot", GIT-VERSION-GEN appended "-dirty" to the version number; this happens because "git diff-index --name-only HEAD --" would report all files as changed if they have a non-root owner/group, since they appear as owned by root under fakeroot, leading to non-empty output. Refreshing the index first makes the decision based on content changes only.
