I'm using windows. Have had it happen on 8.1 and 10. "git status" shows "nothing to commit, working tree clean". I am using git version 2.17.1.windows.2

It would be helpful to know more about your environment. Is this only reproducible on certain operating systems (e.g. case-insensitive ones)? What version of Git are you using? What does "git status" say before you run git clean? -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
