Yes. All the necessary infrastructure exists, I think.
I think we should probably retain the current checks that the working
tree is up to date, to avoid accidents. But would could avoid running
clean. So we should check there are no un-ignored untracked files,
but not mind ignored ones.

Maybe. I think build-* are for the old package-ish workflow. (Now
that push-source exists I'm not sure why you would build-source,
really.)
