--- Comment #4 from Ulrich Spörlein <uqs@FreeBSD.org> ---
It's not absurd, but I think the best place to change the terminology would be
in upstream, i.e. git itself, so that FreeBSD (for once!) uses whatever
upstream uses and doesn't come up with its own way of doing or naming things.

The "dirty" here will not be visible to regular users anyway. If we get actual
reports that people feel weirded out by this, we can and should re-evaluate.

For now, let's keep the industry standard wording here. "dirty" is a good
opposite of a "clean" build or tree.
