I think I have found a new bug in 1.7.5:
My quick check indicates 1.7.3 behaves the same way, and 1.7.2.5 didn't
have --exclude option, so this does not seem to be anything particularly
new in the 1.7.5 release.
# The problem (Why is foo/ removed?)
$>git clean -dXf --exclude=/foo
Removing bar/
Removing foo/
Why is this command line giving -X that tells us not to use the ignore
rules, and --exclude option at the same time?

No. I was just clarifying what my binary was for research purposes.

My more complicated use of the command wanted to use the .gitignore rules to cleanup ignored files with the exception of 1 directory. I believe -dxf --exclude is also broken in the same way.
