--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <emaste at freebsd.org> ---
It comes from standard git terminology, e.g. from `git describe`

       --dirty[=<mark>], --broken[=<mark>]
           Describe the state of the working tree. When the working tree
           matches HEAD, the output is the same as "git describe HEAD". If the
           working tree has local modification "-dirty" is appended to it. If
           a repository is corrupt and Git cannot determine if there is local
           modification, Git will error out, unless `--broken' is given, which
           appends the suffix "-broken" instead.

Perhaps we could use e.g. --dirty=-modified or such.

Separately, one of the advantages of git is that you can track any local
changes, so I'd suggest committing all changes in place on a system that
innocent end users would connect to.
