Newly imported directory not removed

[djl]

I think I'm running into a bug with the clutter feature, where the directory being imported is not deleted despite only containing "clutter" files. Here's an example:

$ ls /tmp/music
cover.jpg
music.m3u
music.srr
01-foo.flac
02-bar.flac
03-baz.flac

$ beet import /tmp/music
...

$ ls /tmp/music
cover.jpg
music.m3u
music.srr

And my configuration:

clutter:
  - 'Thumbs.db'
  - '.DS_Store'
  - '*.log'
  - '*.txt'
  - '*.cue'
  - '*.m3u'
  - '*.srr'

After the import, /tmp/music only contains files from my clutter but it hasn't been removed.

Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding how this feature works?

I believe you're running into #130. We don't prune the top-level directory that's the argument to import under the assumption that this could surprise users; instead, we only prune the recursively-searched subdirectories. As the (old) thread on that ticket indicates, I don't know what a good solution to this is—changing the behavior could make the other 50% of users unhappy. 😃 Suggestions welcome.
