Subject: [BUG] "git clean -df ." silently doesn't delete folders with stale .nfs* files
Message-ID: <ae862adb-1475-48e9-bd50-0c07dc42a520@rawbw.com>

NFS sometimes leaves files like .nfsXXXXXXXXXXX which usually means that 
some process that has this file open is alive.


"git clean -df ." was supposed to remove the folder where such file is 
located, but it encountered the failure, and silently ignored it and 
succeeded.


Desired behavior: "git clean -df ." should notify the user with warnings 
or errors for each such file that it failed to remove.


When "git clean -df ." succeeded I ran the next command and it failed 
because of the still-present folder with the .nfsXXXXXXXXX file in it.


I believe that this is a bug in git.


git-2.38.1



Thanks,

Yuri
