Subject: [PATCH] Add clean.requireForce option, and add -f option to git-clean to override it

From: Josh Triplett <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 17:18:16 -0700

Add a new configuration option clean.requireForce.  If set, git-clean will
refuse to run, unless forced with the new -f option, or not acting due to -n.

Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <[email-masked]>

Passes the test suite, and works fine for me.
