Hi, thanks very much for doing this. But, this patch always prints
-dirty for me, even with no untracked changes in git. I think this is
because:

Shouldn't this be:
if printf '%s' "$git_status" | grep -qv '^.. scripts/package'; then
I.e., use printf not echo? Because of echo introducing a newline.
With echo:
$ x=$(printf ''); if echo "$x" | grep -qv 'ignore'; then echo dirty; fi
dirty
$ x=$(printf '\n'); if echo "$x" | grep -qv 'ignore'; then echo dirty;
fi
dirty
$ x=$(printf 'ignore\n'); if echo "$x" | grep -qv 'ignore'; then echo
dirty; fi
$ x=$(printf 'untracked\n'); if echo "$x" | grep -qv 'ignore'; then
echo dirty; fi
dirty
With printf:
$ x=$(printf ''); if printf '%s' "$x" | grep -qv 'ignore'; then echo
dirty; fi
$ x=$(printf '\n'); if printf '%s' "$x" | grep -qv 'ignore'; then echo
dirty; fi
$ x=$(printf 'ignore\n'); if printf '%s' "$x" | grep -qv 'ignore'; then
echo dirty; fi
$ x=$(printf 'untracked\n'); if printf '%s' "$x" | grep -qv 'ignore';
then echo dirty; fi
dirty
(Hopefully I'm not missing something.)
