Revert "scripts/setlocalversion: git: Make -dirty check more robust"
This reverts commit 6147b1cf19651c7de297e69108b141fb30aa2349. The reverted patch results in attempted write access to the source repository, even if that repository is mounted read-only. Output from "strace git status -uno --porcelain": getcwd("/tmp/linux-test", 129) = 16 open("/tmp/linux-test/.git/index.lock", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = -1 EROFS (Read-only file system) While git appears to be able to handle this situation, a monitored build environment (such as the one used for Chrome OS kernel builds) may detect it and bail out with an access violation error. On top of that, the attempted write access suggests that git _will_ write to the file even if a build output directory is specified. Users may have the reasonable expectation that the source repository remains untouched in that situation.
