Description
Hi, I've taken a look at the git sync command and was wondering if it would be possible to prevent some folders from being cleaned out.
node_modules or .idea/ are good examples of important folders that I would need to keep locally. A simple first step might be to have an extra read that asks for a full clean or just clean without the -d.
I would make a PR, but I want to gauge interest in this, and I apologize if I'm duplicating but I didn't find any similar issues in my search.

Research direction
Start with bin/git-sync around line 68 and inspect how it invokes git clean. Compare the proposed full-clean versus cleaning without -d behavior, including the node_modules and .idea/ examples, and review the discussion for an agreed direction. Done means the accepted behavior for preserving local folders is documented and implemented in git-sync.
