If you mean a Bazaar clone, you can use

  bzr clean-tree --unknown --ignored --detritus

which should leave only the pristine tree (and .bzr metadata, of
course). I have such an alias

  bzr alias extraclean="clean-tree --unknown --ignored --detritus"

and invoke it as "bzr extraclean --force".

Of course, after that you'll have to configure & bootstrap.
