Yeah, it's a pain. If you pull down a fresh "git clone" of Emacs, it
always works, but if you've done a "git pull" for a while, you
invariably end up in a situation where none of the sanctioned methods
for building Emacs works and most users seem to just remove the entire
tree and pull down a new copy. Which is slow and annoying.
Relying on git to get to a clean state (like you're doing here) sounds
like a possible idea. Perhaps a target that removes all non-tracked
files? However, that sounds rather destructive: The user may have other
stuff in there, and having a target that's that dangerous is perhaps
overkill...
