In short, the users can do that easily in their "run" script, and the definition of "clean-up" will be different depending on what the "run" script does (it may do "make" in which case "make clean" may be a way, it may do "git apply fixup.patch" in which case "git apply -R fixup.patch" may be the way, etc.), so adding "--clean" does not help the users. Just make the "run" script clean after itself. If that is the argument, I'd buy that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
