Say, we have a repo like this: test.git |-- untracked_file |-- untracked_bar | |-- bar.txt |-- untracked_foo |-- foo.txt The original version prints out: $ git clean -fn Would remove untracked_file Would not remove untracked_bar/ Would not remove untracked_foo/ We never asked for any directories to be removed so IMHO the "Would not remove ..." messages are just noise. The new version prints out: $ git clean -fn Would remove untracked_file -- 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
