Heya,

I usually compile git from next (sometimes pu to test out a new feature), and when I then switch back to a development branch (usually based off master) I get something like this:

$ git status # On branch remote-helpers # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # git-http-backend # git-notes # git-remote-hg # test-index-version

Now I can easily do 'git clean -f', but it's somewhat annoying. How do other developers deal with this?
