i just built a new kernel from the latest git tree and while i set
the EXTRAVERSION value in the Makefile to "-crash", what was tacked on
to the kernel name was "-crash+".  why the "+"?

  i immediately assumed that that was being appended by
scripts/setlocalversion to represent ... not sure, that it was being
built from a dirty git checkout or something to do with a signifier of
version control.  but i don't see in that script where it's being
done.

  thoughts?
