  • 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.
