Currently, when called without -n and -f, git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce not set and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean which leaves the user wondering why force is required when requireForce is not set. Looking up in git-clean(1) does not help because its description is wrong. Change it so that git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce defaults to true and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean in this situation (and "...set to true..." when it is set) which makes it clearer that an unset config means true here, and adjust the documentation.

NAME

----
|
|
git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git clean' [-d] [-f] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X] [--] <path>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not
|
|
under version control, starting from the current directory.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-d::
|
|
Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.
|
|
If an untracked directory is managed by a different git
|
|
repository, it is not removed by default. Use -f option twice
|
|
if you really want to remove such a directory.
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
--force::
|
|
If the git configuration variable clean.requireForce is not set
|
|
to false, 'git clean' will refuse to run unless given -f or -n.
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
--dry-run::
|
|
Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are
|
|
successfully removed.
|
|
|
|
-x::
|
|
Don't use the ignore rules. This allows removing all untracked
|
|
files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in
|
|
conjunction with 'git reset') to create a pristine
|
|
working directory to test a clean build.
|
|
|
|
-X::
|
|
Remove only files ignored by git. This may be useful to rebuild
|
|
everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.
