That's not the same thing.  I have untagged-source set as unrecognized, 
but I don't "make clean" before committing.

All you have to do is tell Arch that your non-source files are 
*non-source*, by writing some rules in your =arch-inventory.  Once your 
output files aren't "source", they aren't "untagged-source" either, and 
so you can commit.
