+# The source tarball, which is generated by 'git archive', contains everything
+# you committed in the repository. If you have local diff ('git diff HEAD'),
+# it will go into ${diff_patch}. If untracked files are remaining, the resulting
+# source package may not be correct.
+#
+# Examples:
+#  - You modified a source file to add #include "new-header.h"
+#    but forgot to add new-header.h
+#  - You modified a Makefile to add 'obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += new-dirver.o'
+#    but you forgot to add new-driver.c
+#
+# You need to commit them, or at least stage them by 'git add'.
+#
+# This script does not take care of untracked files because doing so would
+# introduce additional complexity. Instead, print a warning message here if
+# untracked files are found.
+# If all untracked files are just garbage, you can ignore this warning.
