Hi!
I'm seeing some unexpected behavior with git clean:
git init test
cd test
echo "ignored.txt" > .gitignore
mkdir folder
touch folder/ignored.txt
git clean -Xdf
I'd expect this to delete folder/ignored.txt, and instead it doesn't.
I'm in git 2.29.2 on osx.
I saw that git clean -xdn does delete the file, so if this is a bug
it's limited to -X.
Thanks!
Dave

Yes, I believe so. I am indeed using git clean as a substitute for make clean.
But, I still think a fix would be appropriate. Ideally I could trust
git to remove all auto-generated files regardless of whether or not
the project even has a Makefile.

I'm not trying to argue against a fix, just verifying that it wasn't
recent changes that might have caused problems, and linking the
reports together in the archive with a url to help anyone interested
be able to find them.
