And you would be wrong, IMHO. Many people have untracked files or directories
in their working directory ('cause they are working there) that they don't
want deleted willy-nilly. Build files, modifications that should be on a
different branch, etc. There's another thread active on the list complaining
that git removes too much from the working tree.
Most users of SCMs do make active modifications to the files in the SCM. It's
not a system only for archiving static projects.
