IOC build fails after removing an iocBoot dir from Git

I'm a bit reluctant to run make clean if not needed since this wipes out
files in the $(TOP)/bin $(TOP)/db and $(TOP)/lib folders. What if the
build fails and my IOC crashes before the IOC engineer has resolved the
problem? I have to admit that this is kind of a weak argument but just
running "make" seems to be the safest approach until we can transition
to containers...

Hmm, I see. I have made this adjustment to my IOC repos that have
multiple instances. Seems to work reliably.

Thanks a lot!
