My first reaction was: Is it not a job for "git ls-files"?

Actually, you already almost have it:

git clean -d  => git ls-files --exclude-standard --directory -o
git clean -dx => git ls-files -z --exclude-standard --directory -io

OTOH, the "git clean" without -d are not exposed directly AFAICT, and
the set of options of "git clean" may make more sense.
