Git repo registering as dirty even when clean
Problem is being encountered on the PSU GPU clusters while running hypo_testing.py. After first encountering the issue I added git status just before I run hypo_testing.py and get this:
# On branch cake_GRID
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
This is my personal analysis branch for running on the GRID (and more recently on the PSU GPU cluster) but I've been running with no issue since November last year on the GRID and up until a couple of days ago on the PSU GPU.
For now there's the simple workaround of adding --allow-dirty to the command but it would be good to know why this is happening. It's likely nothing to do with PISA.
Note that the PSU clusters use, by default, git version 1.7.1. This might not be part of the issue, but just recording it for posterity.
There is this issue open at the versioneer project page related to this version of git (again, might not be the issue here since it the code worked previously on PSU clusters using the same version of git): https://github.com/warner/python-versioneer/issues/98
