Hi,
Please consider whether

scripts/setlocalversion: make git describe output more reliable
qualifies for -stable. It removes one potential source of binary
non-reproducibility that we have actually seen cause problems.
I'm fine with it not qualifying, but please let me know if so, because
then I'll go and add some workarounds to various customer projects.
In case it doesn't cherry-pick cleanly (I think there might have been
some shell-portability patches replacing $() by `` or something like
that) I am happy to provide backports to the still maintained -stable
branches.
Thanks,
Rasmus
