Re: What's cooking in git.git (topics)

What about making "git clean" _stash_ your changes instead of deleting them 
(so that you can undo the clean)? Preferably they should be stashed 
somewhere _other_ than where "git stash" does its thing. "git clean" could 
even delete the stash immediately, but keep the reflog around so that 
the "clean" at least could be undone within 30 days (or whatever is the 
current default).

Thoughts?

Unthoughts.  That does not mesh with the way how world works.

"git clean" is about things that git usually do not care about
(i.e. things not in .gitignore, or even in .gitignore when -x is
given).  Everything else including "git stash" is all about what
git cares about (i.e. tracked paths).
