When optional paths arguments are given, git-clean passes them
to underlying git-ls-files; with this, you can say:

	git clean 'temp-*'

to clean only the garbage files whose names begin with 'temp-'.

 * I usually do not use clean myself, so I am not sure if this
   is the kind of thing people who do use 'clean' regularly
   would generally want, hence this RFC.
