-z makes clean output only the names of paths which are or would be
deleted, and separates them with \0.
Use as "xargs -0 -a <(git clean -nz [-d]) rm -ri", e.g., as a quick
"git clean -i".

Here's an alternative approach to that problem with a complete different attach
vector but a similar purpose. I've been using it for a while, but it's kind of
unpolished. My "git-clean-i" looks like:
--->%---
#!/bin/bash
xargs -0 -a <(git clean -n -z "$@") rm -ri

@@ -63,6 +63,13 @@ OPTIONS
Remove only files ignored by Git. This may be useful to rebuild
everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.
+-z::
+ Use machine readable output for (to be) removed paths: Output the paths
+ which are or would be removed only (without extra wording) and
+ separate them with \0.
++
+This does not imply `-n` but can be combined with it.
