I am actually becoming somewhat fond of the newline that makes the end
of a session that led to a commit stand out ;-). IOW, I was wondering if
we can have another for a merge commit case.

But I suspect that it amounts to the change in the same area and of
similar complexity.

The last time I looked at the "directory" side of builtin-clean.c, I had
to quickly reach for my barf bag.  I never use "git clean" without "-n"
and I never ever use "git clean" with "-d"; I do not have any idea what
behaviour when given "-d" would be useful.  AFAIU, the scripted version
did not have clear semantics either.

Another thing that irritates me is it talks about not removing a
directory when run "git clean -n" (without -d).  I did not ask it to
remove directories, so I did not expect it to talk about it not doing
what I did not ask it to.

Thanks for a reminder.  Anything else?
