delete untracked files

Delete all untracked files in your working copy. Untracked files are files that are unknown to Sapling. They are marked with "?" when you run sl status.

By default, sl clean implies --files, so only untracked files are deleted. If you add --ignored, ignored files are also deleted. If you add --dirs, empty directories are deleted and --files is no longer implied.

If directories are given on the command line, only files in these directories are considered.

Caution: sl clean is irreversible. To avoid accidents, first perform a dry run with sl clean --print.
