(1) Only print out the names of the files and directories that got
actually deleted. Also do not mention that we are not removing
directories when the user did not ask us to do so with '-d'.
(2) Show ignore message for skipped untracked git repositories.
Consider the following repo layout:
test.git/
|-- tracked_dir/
| |-- some_tracked_file
| |-- some_untracked_file
|-- tracked_file
|-- untracked_file
|-- untracked_foo/
| |-- bar/
| | |-- bar.txt
| |-- emptydir/
| |-- frotz.git/
| |-- frotz.tx
|-- untracked_some.git/
|-- some.txt
Suppose the user issues 'git clean -fd' from the test.git directory.
When -d option is used and untracked directory 'foo' contains a
subdirectory 'frotz.git' that is managed by a different git repository
therefore it will not be removed.
$ git clean -fd
Removing tracked_dir/some_untracked_file
Removing untracked_file
Removing untracked_foo/
Removing untracked_some.git/
The message displayed to the user is slightly misleading. The foo/
directory has not been removed because of foo/frotz.git still exists.
On the other hand the subdirectories 'bar' and 'emptydir' have been
deleted but they're not mentioned anywhere. Also, untracked_some.git
has not been removed either.
This behaviour is the result of the way the deletion of untracked
directories are reported. In the current implementation they are
deleted recursively but only the name of the top most directory is
printed out. The calling function does not know about any
subdirectories that could not be removed during the recursion.
Improve the way the deleted directories are reported back to
the user:
(1) Create a recursive delete function 'remove_dirs' in builtin/clean.c
to run in both dry_run and delete modes with the delete logic as
follows:
(a) Check if the current directory to be deleted is an untracked
git repository. If it is and --force --force option is not set
do not touch this directory, print ignore message, set dir_gone
flag to false for the caller and return.
(b) Otherwise for each item in current directory:
(i) If current directory cannot be accessed, print warning,
set dir_gone flag to false and return.
(ii) If the item is a subdirectory recurse into it,
check for the returned value of the dir_gone flag.
If the subdirectory is gone, add the name of the deleted
directory to a list of successfully removed items 'dels'.
Else set the dir_gone flag as the current directory
cannot be removed because we have at least one subdirectory
hanging around.
(iii) If it is a file try to remove it. If success add the
file name to the 'dels' list, else print error and set
dir_gone flag to false.
(c) After we finished deleting all items in the current directory and
the dir_gone flag is still true, remove the directory itself.
If failed set the dir_gone flag to false.
(d) If the current directory cannot be deleted because the dir_gone flag
has been set to false, print out all the successfully deleted items
for this directory from the 'dels' list.
(e) We're done with the current directory, return.
(2) Modify the cmd_clean() function to:
(a) call the recursive delete function 'remove_dirs()' for each
topmost directory it wants to remove
(b) check for the returned value of dir_gone flag. If it's true
print the name of the directory as being removed.
Consider the output of the improved version:
$ git clean -fd
Removing tracked_dir/some_untracked_file
Removing untracked_file
Skipping repository untracked_foo/frotz.git
Removing untracked_foo/bar
Removing untracked_foo/emptydir
Skipping repository untracked_some.git/
Now it displays only the file and directory names that got actually
deleted and shows the name of the untracked git repositories it ignored.

The current explanation of -e can be misread as allowing the user to say
I know 'git clean -XYZ' (substitute -XYZ with any option and/or
parameter) will remove paths A, B, and C, and I want them all removed
except for paths matching this pattern by adding '-e C' to the same
command line, i.e. 'git clean -e C -XYZ'.
But that is not what this option does. It augments the set of ignore rules
from the command line, just like the same "-e <pattern>" argument does
with the "ls-files" command (the user could probably pass "-e \!C" to tell
the command to clean everything the command would normally remove, except
for C). Also error out when both -x and -e are given with an explanation of
what -e means---it is a symptom of misunderstanding what -e does.
It also fixes small style nit in the parameter to add_exclude() call. The
current code only works because EXC_CMDL happens to be defined as 0.

baselen used to be the result of common_prefix() when it was made
builtin. Since 1d8842d (Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for

With the -e/--exclude option for git-clean, a user can specify files
that they haven't yet told git about, but either need for a short amount
of time or plan to tell git about them later. This allows one to still
use git-clean while these files are around without losing data.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
