Cleaning up make clean's behavior |

As running make clean breaks the bootstrap script.
I propose we leverage git's shallow clones (git clone --depth 1 $URL)
and include the .git directory with the repo such that we could simply
have make clean check for git and if it exists run git clean -xdf and
then only if git fails to exist, fallback to the existing broken form;
which needs to be corrected.
per discussion with g_bor[m] about the default automake clean rules
being used currently; and per their suggestion bringing this question to
this distribution list for further discussion.
Additional wouldn't one want to pack the .git in the tarball to enable a
simplified update method.
jlicht pointed out that this would not be a problem yet for guix, but it
does seem unconventional. It would not make sense for some bigger-repo
projects (e.g. emacs) for sure though
Given that discussion background does anyone have any problems, concerns
or issues with the change proposed?
