As a general comment, I personally think that it worth to mention the

I'm not sure we should recommend this. Settings in ~/.emacs are not
affected
by git clean -f -x but .dir-locals.el is removed by that command.
Why not add the file to .gitignore, possibly in a separate patch?
Hi Alison,
I think that git clean -f -x also removes files specified in .gitignore.
From the git-clean man page:
-x
Don't use the standard ignore rules read from .gitignore (per
directory) and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but do still use the ignore
rules given with -e options. This allows removing all untracked
files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in
conjunction with git reset) to create a pristine working directory
to test a clean build.
Bart.
