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

       --dirty[=3D<mark>], --broken[=3D<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 loc=
al
           modification, Git will error out, unless `--broken' is given, wh=
ich
           appends the suffix "-broken" instead.

Perhaps we could use e.g. --dirty=3D-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.
