=2Egitignore include ".*" as a pattern of files to remove.
The "-e <pattern>" option to git clean instructs it to ignore the=20
=2Egitignore rules.

If git is not upgraded on a slave, the git clean will either itself=20
fail due to -e not being a valid option or it will succeed but remove=20
=2Ebuildbot.sourcedata and force the entire repository to be copied from =

openafs.stanford.edu at an approximate rate of 50KiB/second.   Given=20
the ever increasing size of the gerrit repository, this can take a very=20
long time and eat up a lot of bandwidth.
