Add a convenience function named
clean
that callsrm
thenadd
on its argument in sequence. The justification is that it's a way to "clean" a local package that has been marked as "dirty", and return to the clean master version. This function is based on the recommendation of @greg_plowman in response to a question on how to revert dirty packages.Suggested future improvements: only clean when the package is actually marked as dirty, use
git reset --hard
type functionality, as suggested by @stevengj.
