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.

It means someone made a mistake when preparing the release. 
Probably harmless.
