Actually, if you want to be in a safe, known place,
git reset --hard; git clean -f -x -d
will get you there.  It will remove things like the test baseline as well,  
but if you make use of the test baseline archive implemented in issue 2422  
(obviously to be located out of the repository checkout), there would not  
appear to be a significant drawback.

Anyway, I'll push this patch to staging soonish.  Your objections are about  
my characterization of this patch as addressing a self-inflicted problem.   
I am not convinced that it is all that sensible to do in-tree out-of-tree  
builds, but while the various patchies delight in doing so, there is little  
point in having more weird things happen as a result than necessary.

The current version addresses both the "build tree inside of repository" as  
well as the "repository inside of build tree" arrangements.
