I'm not entirely happy about removing untracked stuff without asking
the user. What if the output directory isn't empty? What if a user just
want them in ~?
However I think this patch can improve the workflow for experienced
developers. Can we tweak this in some way to get the best out of both
worlds?

Should we have a strbuf_release here?
