This may help, or it may not.

If there are other binaries like "git-check-email" or "git-check-ignore" in the PATH .....

When you switch to a branch generating a file like git-check-ignore then "make clean" will know about it and will remove it. If you switch to master, then "make clean" will not remove it.

What does "git status" say?

We had a discussion about this some weeks ago, but never concluded.
