Nifty... however the reason I asked the original question was so that I could make sure that vendor files (*.dll) that were supposed to be there were... so deleting them would not be the desired result. HOWEVER: this is good to know as I have changed my strategy from ignoreing *.dll to ignoring my build output folder (but not my vendor folders). This would be a good alternative to make clean and very helpful on a build server.

I'm using git version 1.7.0.4, and the two commands ('git ls-files -o -i --exclude-standard', 'git clean -dXn') are not equivalent. The first show me 4 files, and the second only two. (.gitignore~, index.php~, sql/create_users.sql~, www/index.php~) (Would remove .gitignore~, Would remove index.php~). Am I missins something here?

@VonC, sweet! Thanks! @Cesar, I'm not sure. I'm not so familiar with git ls-files -o -i --exclude-standard. git clean -dXn has always been what I wanted but doesn't show ignored files that have already been removed. git ls-files -o -i --exclude-standard might do that. So, that might be what's causing the difference.
