Does this include the .o files ? The moc_something.cpp files? Executables like mythfrontend?

Will "git clean -xfd" still clean them all? I am not sure if it looks for hidden directories.

Does ccache still work ok with this?

This includes the .o files and all files built by moc, but not the libraries or executables.

At the request of gigem, I updated the patch to use the visible directory names 'obj' and 'moc'. Git clean does remove these directories and their contents.

I run with ccache enabled and haven't noticed any issues.

In 9536964fd0d414f15c7da8fef9bff7ae563339d7/mythtv:

Hide generated objects in sub-directories.

Clean up working directories by stashing all the compiler generated
objects in sub-directories. Update the explicitly linked application
.o files found in some of the test programs. Add make 'cleanall'
target that can be used to remove the old moc_* and *.o files, in case
this patch is pulled in without first performing a 'make distclean'.
Fixes #13070.
