I'm not sure why the second command is necessary; that shouldn't do
anything after the first command is run. And indeed, glancing at the
logs for the debian slave right now shows that the second command
doesn't seem to be deleting anything.

However, at least for all of the slaves that build 1.6 gerrit
submissions, they are all running 'git clean -dfx' in the "git [update]"
step. That is, in addition to / separately from the "shell_2 [git clean
...]" step, including removing the .buildbot-sourcedata file. As far as
I can tell, it doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

So, at least from my perspective, at least for the 1.6 builders we
shouldn't need any extra 'git clean' steps at all now.
