Does Forrest delete build/site before adding new files?

[Ferdinand Soethe <sa...@soethe.net>]

After doing some radical changes in xdocs I noticed that there was
still an old index.html in build/site that was not updated because it
was no longer part of the site. It should definitely have been
removed.

It doesn't by default for performance reasons. During development it is 
usually not important if the odd file is left hanging and cleaning a 
directory with a few thousand files in it can take quite some time.

If you want to do a clean build then do 'forrest clean site'
