I do not know if you have read other messages in the thread, but my
current understanding of what we learned in this thread [*1*] is
that those who use CMake, especially in a tree like ours that has
its own Makefiles, (sh|w)ould create a throw-away directory and run
build there, so even "git clean -dxf" is not part of their "clean"
procedure.
