DESCRIPTION
-----------
Removes files unknown to git. This allows cleaning the working tree
of files that are not under version control. If the '-x' option is
specified, ignored files are also removed, allowing the removal of all
build products.

This allows cleaning the working tree by removing files that are not
under version control.

Normally, only files unknown to git are removed, but if the '-x'
option is specified, ignored files are also removed. This can, for
example, be useful to remove all build products.

If any optional `<path>...` arguments are given, only those paths
are affected.
