scripts/setlocalversion: add more comments to -dirty flag detection
This script stumbled on the read-only source tree over again: - a2bb90a08cb3 ("kbuild: fix delay in setlocalversion on readonly source") - cdf2bc632ebc ("scripts/setlocalversion on write-protected source tree") - 8ef14c2c41d9 ("Revert "scripts/setlocalversion: git: Make -dirty check more robust"") - ff64dd485730 ("scripts/setlocalversion: Improve -dirty check with git-status --no-optional-locks") Add comments to clarify that this script should never ever try to write to the source tree. 'git describe --dirty' might look as a simple solution for appending the -dirty string, but we cannot use it because it creates the .git/index.lock file.
