help, bunch of extra files in "git status" output

Hi,

I'm working with a number of git trees.  Recently I was working on a
tree based off 2.6.27, and I went to checkout the mainline branch.  I
changed my mind and hit ctrl-C partway through, then checked out my
original branch.

Now when I do "git status" it shows about 600 filenames in the
"Untracked files" section.  How do I return my tree to a clean state?
Can I just delete all these files?

Yes. You can do "git clean -dqfx" and it will delete any files that aren't 
listed in the index.
