Real men have everything they care about tracked by git, and thus by definition "git clean" is the safest operation possible. I don't understand how anybody can call it "unsafe". I just wish it was quiet by default - right now it takes a _loong_ time to clean out your crud just because it scrolls forever talking about all those girly files you don't want to keep - and that it had -x and -d on by default, so that us *real* men wouldn't have to type so much. But making it accept combined options, so that you can do "git clean -xdq" would certainly already be a huge improvement. But yeah, I guess we could make the "clean.Imagirlyman" option (or however the "please-don't-hurt-me-by-default" option is spelled) the default. That way I'd just feel *extra* manly for immediately disabling it, and laughing at you wimps.
