The commands which produce Git commits (possibly rewriting history) need to check if there are uncommitted changes and files in the working tree. Otherwise, it is likely that the operations will fail later with an internal error due to a file conflict.
It is unclear what should be done about ignored files. Maybe they need to be deleted automatically, but that sounds quite problematic due to broad .gitignore file used by glibc upstream.
