I think I disagree. Like "make" and "dpkg-buildpackage", I expect "git
ubuntu build" to use the current state of my working tree by default.
Though now that we've stuck "git " in front of our wrapper, I can
understand how you might disagree.

Perhaps we should require a clean tree by default then, but allow a
--force like gbp?
