            Bug ID: 90936
           Summary: git-version-gen marks tarballs as dirty if build
                    inside a dirty git clone
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: build-system
          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ross at burtonini.com
        QA Contact: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Say I have a distro build system in git, which builds packages in a working
directory in the git checkout:

~/mydistro/builds/pulseaudio-6.0/[tarball contents]

git-version-gen will read the version from .tarball-version and then try
running git diff-index, at which point git will iterate up until it finds
~/mydistro/.git/ and report that the repo is dirty, resulting in a build of
Pulseaudio that thinks its version 6.0-dirty.  Obviously, this isn't right.
