clean sources - clean checkout directory
When sourse are cleaned I notice that the whole checkout
directory is not cleaned but only the vcs root using the checkout rules.
I have seven mecurial repositories that are all output to a sub folder of the checkout folder, these are cleaned but I also create other folders during the process of a build and these are not removed. If there was a hook into the clean so I could perform other operation is may be useful.

Please consider using Build Files Cleaner instead of clean checkout. It should handle generated files, and also it's much faster.
Thanks for the suggustion but the problem is not actually for a user triggered clean checkout but when teamcity itself detects it needs to perform a clean checkout.
I have also come across the situation when a project is deleted from teamcity and then re-added a while afterwards. The prevously existing sources are used along with all the generated binaries with no cleaning performed at all.
