Description k z CLA 2013-08-20 09:24:24 EDT 
Git "Clean after checkout" does not clean folders. According to help "Run "git clean -fdx" after every checkout to ensure a clean build." so it is supposed to remove unversioned files and folders but it does not. After a build (xcode) I got "build" folder with unique build artifacts. After antoher build my build folder contains artifacts from current and all previous builds even though "clean after checkout" option is checked. In the log when this option is checked I see "Cleaning workspace" log entry and unversioned files are removed however it does not clean folders. When I call command git clean -fdx from command line "build" folder is removed. Is git clean command really invoked with '-d' option ?
