Distclean does not remove gram.c

The src/backend/parser/gram.c is a generated file, so shouldn't this be
removed by `make distclean`, or maybe even by `make clean`?

No. It's shipped in distribution tarballs. If you want all derived
files to be removed, use make maintainer-clean.

I did a `git clean -f -d` and even that did not remove gram.c,
apparently because this file _was_ alive at some point in the past
hence git won't remove it even though the current branch does not have
gram.c.

At first glance that looks like a git bug.

My guess is that either .git/info/exclude or a .gitignore file
someplace says to ignore gram.c. git clean -df will not remove such
files; you need git clean -dfx if you want that.

Yes indeed, -x is what I needed.

Thanks.
