It basically means that your git tree is modified. top-level Makefile calls scripts/setlocalversion, which says (in part): # Check for git and a git repo. if test -d .git && head=`git rev-parse --verify --short HEAD 2>/dev/null`; then # If we are at a tagged commit (like "v2.6.30-rc6"), we ignore # it, because this version is defined in the top level Makefile. if [ -z "`git describe --exact-match 2>/dev/null`" ]; then # If only the short version is requested, don't bother # running further git commands if $short; then echo "+" return fi --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
