I don't think so.  This is a list of junk that bzr may leave behind, and
bzr knows that best.  If you want to build up a list of files you want
to delete, 'find' can do that for you.  Unlike Arch, we don't want to
have multiple classes of ignored files, which is a direction this
suggestion would lead us in.

I talked with Martin, and we decided not to put clean-tree in, but I'm
adding a --detritus option to 'bzr ls', so people can use it with xargs.
