Yeah. That's discussed in more detail in the code change that resulted from the issue report.

It's a ballsy move by the VSCode team to not only include git clean but to keep it after numerous issue reports.

As others discussed in that thread, git clean has no business being offered in a graphical menu where a git novice may find it.

That said, I do think the expanded warning mesage they added addresses the issue by calling out that whatever git may think, the user is about to lose some files.
