Use git clean --force --force to delete all untracked git repositories

But I am not sure if this is ever sane.  Especially the one that
removes an embedded repository is suspicious.  "git clean" should
not ever touch it with or without --superforce or any other command.

As I mentioned in my email where I reported this incorrect git clean output, I
have a use case where I want git clean to remove embedded repositories.
Whether it is a sane one is probably a different discussion.

Why is it a different discussion?  If something is not sane, the
tool shouldn't encourage users to do such an insane thing.
