My editor (vim) takes a config file in be/ (be/.ycm_extra_conf.py). I
recently pushed a change <https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4562/> to include
it in the .gitignore file, making it survive runs of "git clean -fdx".
However, I now found that we actually also call "git clean -fdX" (uppercase
X), effectively killing everything that is included in .gitignore from
clean.sh.

Is there a way to clean the repository while obeying the rules in
.gitignore? Can we change the -x to a -X? Is there any other workaround to
retain this config file, short of linking it again every time I run
clean.sh (or buildall)?

Thanks for the help, Lars
