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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
