`git clean` from other working directory
Some git commands take a --git-dir argument, but git clean doesn't seem to do so.
How can I do what cd someDir && git clean -abcd would have done, without changing working directory?

--git-dir is an option of git, not git-clean.
git --git-dir someDir/.git clean -abcd
