Source trees
From dankwiki
Rules for source trees
Rule: make clean in a pristine source tree ought be idempotent
- Never remove controlled files as part of a make clean
Generated files
Rule: make all in a pristine source tree oughtn't change files in source control
- Don't keep generated files in source control
- Use source control systems' "ignore" capabilities
- It ought be possible to write a make clean which operates entirely based off "ignore" properties
