Thanks for digging.

My gut feeling is that the former approach would be of lesser
impact. Directory A/ can be removed "clean" without "-x" when there
is nothing tracked in there in the index and there is no ignored
paths. Having zero untracked files there or one or more untracked
file there do not matter---they are all subject to removal by
"clean".
