Cleaning all unneeded files inside a single interactive session
should *never* be the goal---that will lead to an over-engineered
design (e.g. switching "clean -x" flags in the middle? why?). I
think Jiang's latest series is already way over-engineered,
I didn't read the end of the series in detail, but I tend to agree with
you. Maybe it's time to remember the YAGNI principle, and keep the
number of options small at least for now (e.g. drop 11/12 git-clean: add
toggle flags interactive action). When users (including us) will have
used "git clean -i" for a while, we'll have a better idea of what is
really needed.
