But there's still git clean -fdx which deletes all files and directories 
unknown to git ignoring the .gitignore file. In other words, it produces the 
same result as a completely fresh git clone.

Another way to get the same result is to git clone from the local repository. 
The remote for tracking upstream can be added to the config later on.
