revert: Changes to git cleanup in edxapp#321
Merged
Conversation
This reverts commits 270a106/PR #318, ba8d06d/PR #319, and 133403d/PR #320 which attempted to change to running git-clean as root. For some reason, git is still saying the directory is unsafe and recommends setting `safe.directory` even though we already are. Just giving up for now. We may need some other approach, such as running `chown -R` on the repo before cleaning or ensuring these files are created with the right ownership in the first place.
