That said, in a git-controlled directory things aren't that bad. "git clean -dfx" removes uncontrolled files and "git checkout" makes sure all files are present. Would you recommend switching to wildcards in our makefiles and assume people use git to keep their directories in good shape?
I would recommend against doing any form of cleaning. We don't want to remove untracked files that the user has added, for whatever reason. Instead "git ls-files" can be used. That will list all files tracked by git. Then of course adding wildcards, like *.d, where appropriate. Scoping to a single directory should also minimize unwanted files.
