Hello,
Keepiing repo clean with `git clean -dxf' is a very pleasant experience. However, ability to use it ends when one gets untracked but *wanted* files in the repo, like an untracked TODO.
Could a .gitbless file be a solution? I would list in it, e.g.:
TODO
and this way be able to use `git -dxf' again. What do you think?

There's a patch that adds "precious" git attribute [1]. I was going to
resend once the backup-log [2] got reviewed but I might just send it
separately to handle the "git clean" case alone.

That would be nice solution. In the email, you ask for a name other than "precious". So maybe "blessed"?

There's a couple mail replies in that thread that pointed out
"precious" has been used elsewhere (I think Makefile is one) so I
think I'm going to stick with "precious". Besides it sounds "precious"
:D

I like the idea of the backup-log, I hope it gets commited!

The backup log, if done properly, could allow to use git more freely, without nerves that something will beak. I wonder if it could restore also the state before an improper `git clea -dxf' call? I think the chances are low, because this would requrire to save untracked files, but it's worth asking?

backup-log already saves untracked files for "git reset --hard"
support if I remember correctly. Adding support for "git clean" is not
that big a deal. It's just the matter whether to turn it on by default
(because there will be a lot of files being backed up). But now that I
think about it, if backup log is enabled, perhaps we allow "git clean
-dx" (without -f or -i) which will back up all deleted files, while
-fdx will not. Hmm...
