Re: Broken git process after checkout/clean

I do not have a solution for you but I have run into related issues:

* The committed file set related to libssh2 appears "dirty" in that
distclean removes some of the committed files.

* The current version of the main Makefile.in is not working too well
when doing package builds. See https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/967
for details.

Cheers,
nnposter
