The source tree is checked out at commit 9d5589bb3fee ("Merge
remote-tracking branch
'remotes/vivier2/tags/linux-user-for-5.2-pull-request' into staging",
2020-09-07).

The current working directory is the source tree.

The working directory is pristine, as in:
$ git reset --hard
$ git clean -ffdx
$ git submodule deinit --force --all

Then:

$ git submodule update --init --force
$ make clean
$ git status

And if I change to meson:

$ cd meson
$ git status

I don't know if the "clean" target has any relevance left, in the
top-level Makefile; I've only looked at it now because the command

needed an update (removing the sqlite3.dll exception) for the
edk2-stable202008 update.

Thanks!
