It happened that the git repositories were dirty and resulted in
incorrect files being used. Let's use git clean -ffdx to force a
completely clean git repositories before and after checking out a branch
so that nothing is left from or to another branch build

Sure this is correct? 'git clean -ffdx' does not revert changes to
tracked files, be them staged or not.

Nope, not sure this is correct. I misread git clean manpage, we should
have a git reset --hard and git clean -ffdx. Now the question is when
those are necessary because with this patch we do it twice, before and
after the git checkout. I did this because I remember doing checkouts
between branches of U-Boot/kernel and while the pre-checkout branch was
not dirty, the after-checkout branch was dirty. I assume this might have
something to do with build artifacts of the pre-checkout build that
weren't .gitignored in the afer-checkout branch? Something that git
clean -ffdx should tackle I think.

Sooo, I guess only having git reset --hard and git clean -ffdx before a
checkout should be enough and we don't need them both before and after
the checkout like I did in this patch?

I think 'reset --hard' + 'clean -ffdx' only before the checkout should
be enough. However I'm not sure whether there are corner cases such as
a file that is .gitignored in commit A and versioned in commit B or
similar. Perhaps worth trying with reset+clean only before, and see

I guess it does not hurt to be on the safe side by having them before and after the git checkout then? Since the current issue went unnoticed for months...

what happens. However I don't know exactly the initial problem you're
trying to fix.
