Hi Alena

The default behaviour on GoCD git materials has been git clean -dffx since
GoCD 20.6.0 as far as I can tell. You had to specifically opt in for the
"old" behaviour of git clean -dff However based on the ticket you raised at
https://github.com/gocd/gocd/issues/12806 my *guess* is that you are using
a custom plugin for git materials which has its own logic and does not rely
on GoCD's built in git material.

Which plugin is this? Some commonly used ones that still seem to use "git
clean -dff" internally are
https://github.com/ashwanthkumar/gocd-build-github-pull-requests and
https://github.com/TWChennai/gocd-git-path-material-plugin These plugins
initially aimed to "copy" GoCD's default behaviour but have diverged over
time.

Both would need the plugins to be updated/changed.

A workaround for now may be to clean the entire working directory at GoCD
level in the stage configuration (essentially an "rm -rf working-dir")
rather than relying on something at material level, but this would require
a fresh clone for every build, which some people would rather not do (for
speed reasons) when using static agents.
