That's what I had expected. But look:
$ git ls-files -o /
[... tons of file names ...]
$ git ls-files -o ..
fatal: '..' is outside repository
$ git clean -n / # with Shawn's patch
Would remove /bin/
[... etc ...]
$ git clean -n ..
fatal: '..' is outside repository
Some mechanism for this is already there; it's just not complete enough.
