Still, this kind of errors are usually worrisome. In general, they mean
that doing a "build"/"clean" cycle does not bring the source tree back
in the same state as it was before starting the build. That might cause
errors such as the infamous "FTBFS when built twice in a row".
So, please avoid working around that with --git-ignore-new, but rather
fix the build process so that that files are not removed during build
(or, as you suggested, restore them upon "clean").
Cheers.
