I think what you are trying to do is to deprecate or remove "git clean". I do not know where "git clean" came from. I am suspecting that it was to give counterparts to some other SCMs, but do not know which ones. Some people wanted to have it --- so you need to convince them that it is a bad idea first. Adding an equivalent options to "git rm" alone does not solve that issue.
