Tonight I tried these commands on the Dromedary server (blead).

After 'make distclean' ran, producing an enormous amount of output to
terminal, I ran 'git clean -dfx' and got ... nothing.

I am taking this ticket for the purpose of closing it in 7 days unless
someone produces different data.

Thank you very much.
