I also agree.

FYI, to delete everything and return to a pristine Git repository state,
I usually do this:

    # Clean everything the Makefile knows about.
    make distclean
    # Clean everything Git doesn't track.
    git clean -dfx
    # Reset anything else back to whatever is in HEAD.
    git reset --hard

Be careful though, because doing that is, of course, destructive.
