Note in Anthony's mail he said he was clobbering the build directory, not the checkout.
I do not have very many files in my build directories: $ find Debug | wc -l 10499 $ find Release | wc -l 10290 I think this is not "we have a lot of files because we do a lot of stuff" but rather that something has gone horribly wrong. Anthony, did you happen to notice any large collections of files that were in the delete list?
