Well, the --detritus category is more or less:
.*(.THIS|.BASE|.OTHER|~|.tmp)$

Perhaps we should implement a "file category" concept.  Then clean-tree
could operate on any file category you chose, and bzrtools could provide
the "detritus" category.

This might dovetail with the idea of marking files as "junk" for merging
purposes.

I'm happy to move clean-tree into bzr proper, as long as it continues to
do what I want, and that includes cleaning detritus.
