I (and probably the original poster) don't care that much; for me the
important information is that the binary (or whatever) was not built
from the exact committed state. Thus the question is whether the
second two lines of

 BUILDINFO=git-`git describe --abbrev=16 --always HEAD 2>/dev/null`
 git update-index -q --refresh
 test -z "`git diff-index --name-only HEAD --`" || BUILDINFO="$BUILDINFO.dirty"

(after GIT-VERSION-GEN) are worth to be integrated into git-describe?

(And whether it should also say '.dirty'
 when there are untracked files present.
 Or either for submodules.)
