This comes from `git describe --dirty` and indicates there were
uncommitted changes in the repo when the release was built. This
would raise red flags if seen in a commercial setting and looks a
bit unprofessional but it is most likely harmless. Probably one
of the build scripts or unittests are polluting the repo.
